BSCOM/100T Week 4 Presentations

Assignment Content

1. This week you’ve learned about several different presentation tools and how they can affect an audience. Consider this situation: You’ve been asked to present your idea of adding a family pool to a country club to the club’s Board of Trustees. However, you don’t want to use a simple Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation and would like to try out some new tools you’ve recently learned. 
   
   
   Keep the following in mind about your audience when selecting a presentation tool:
   
   • There are nine members of the Board of Trustees 
   • The Board is multi-generational (but majority is middle-aged men) and multi-cultural
   • Two Board members have a hearing impairment
   • Three Board members will be calling-in to the meeting  
   • Choose two presentation tools: in one, create a short presentation (2 to 3 slides) about your thoughts of adding a family pool, and in the other, provide the same information. Then consider the following questions:
     
   • Besides content, how are the presentations similar?
   • What advantages does one presentation tool have over the other?
   • Which is your preference, and why?
   • Which tool would you recommend for others to use?
   • Instructor’s Note: Pay attention to each assignment point including word count.
     Instructor's Note: APA formatting includes a title page, reference page, abstract, and subheadings. If you do not know how to format each of these elements, see the links below. The Center for Writing Excellence is a very good resource.
