THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT ORAL AND MULTIMODAL PRESENTATIONS

Study the text of an oral or multimodal presentation you’ve prepared or given. Using the advice in this chapter, see how well your presentation appeals to your audience.

How helpful are the visuals (PowerPoint slides, posters) in conveying your message? What would you do to improve this presentation?
