Present It: Understanding Contexts and Audiences
by Miriam Coleman
Review by Alyssa
In this book, the author talks about exactly what a presentation is and how you want to present by making your topic very clear and interesting. You should catch your audience's attention and keep them focused on you rather than going to sleep on you.
The author also mentions how you should think of the amount of knowledge your audience already has on the topic you're presenting. If they have no idea what you're talking about, make sure you outline and carefully explain what things might seem basic to you. Make sure you know exactly what you're trying to say when presenting.
There are different types of presentations which require different skills and strategies. For example, you have written and oral reports. As far as written presentations go, you have to make sure that, especially if you have to type it out, that your spelling and grammar are intact! When it comes to oral reports, make sure you talk slow and loud enough for the people to hear. Use visuals so the people can picture what you're saying.
I would like to recommend this book to anyone who truly wants a brief, but solid strategy on what is a presentation, how to present and the different ways to do a presentation. This book will appeal to anyone from age 10 to adult.
This book seems like the perfect guideline to a great project or essay for school.
