Week 4 discussion
DQ1 – DESIGNING EFFECTIVE
VISUAL AIDS
Please take a look at these four sample slides
(SPCH275_Week_4_Discussion.pptx in doc sharing) that demonstrate some of the
common mistakes of designing effective visual media. Let’s have a few people
share their critique of these slides and explain why they probably do not work
so well. What is the downside of having such ineffective slides?
DQ2-RESEARCH AND
SUPPORT STRATEGIES
Let’s discuss some of the reasons why we need to support
presentations with research. What may enable you to choose research sources
well and avoid traps of using poor quality sources?
DQ3- OUTLINE AND
VISUAL AIDS SHARING
Please feel free to post your outlines or visual aids in
progress for the Informative Speech due in Week 6. In addition to the feedback
available from Smarthinking, your classmates may have ideas about how to
improve your outline for its final delivery.
