Presentation #1 (16 dec 2009)

PAL for my 1st presentation:
Purpose
to talk about the teaching of Sri Chinmoy and to let the audience think about the difference between peace-talkers and peace-dreamers.
Audience
My 8 classmates and Marc in AEP class.
Logistics
3minutes max.+short Q&A session. simple as possible.


1:Preparation/Rehearsal
I brainstormed my passions that be simple but interesting enough to give a presentation in front of the audience. I did some practices to make sure it does not go over the time limit. Since the theme is a little bit serious, I tried not to use too much words and instead, I spent very much time to find effective pictures on "yahoo!"

2:Content/Overall impression
I wanted the audiences to know that it is not enough to speak about peace if they really seek for the peaceful world. Hopefully I could give them some time to think about what we all may possibly do for creating peace.

3:Voice
Attempted to talk slowly and softly. I also tried to use the pauses effectively.

4:Body language
Due to the type of this presentation, active body language is not necessary. The reason why I was holding a bord was not to move my hands too much. Was it successful......?

5:Visuals
I used "yahoo!", and it took time to find the picture of a girl on the 2nd last page. I wanted the visual to be matching with the content of the presentaion but not to be too serious or depressing.


Hopefully my 1st presentation went all right.
Thank you for listening, Marc and my classmates of AEP!
