For this activity, conduct research online to find one speech you enjoy and feel is effectively communicated. First, watch the entire speech one time. Then, watch it a second time and take notes. Focus your note-taking on what worked well in the speech and what didn work as well.

For this assignment, you will be creating a narrated slideshow. You may use PowerPoint to record your voice speaking over slides. (Please include speaker notes so I can record the voice on my own)

Your narrated slideshow will include four components:

Part 1: Introduction rovide the speaker’s name, the title of the presentation, and a link (URL) to the speech. Briefly summarize what the presentation was about.

Part 2: Five Elements of Effective Visuals hat did the speaker do to incorporate the Five Elements of Effective Visuals? What is missing?

Touch on each of the five elements of visuals:

lighting

background awareness

audience perspective
