Improving Presentations 1: Watching The Greats
Part 1 of Better Presentations
🔓 This is an unlocked sample!
Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Students will note what, exactly, makes a presentation great.
Giving presentations is scary, difficult, and rarely taught. Help your students become better public speakers by first watching the greats and taking careful notes.
Some specific videos to watch:
- Steve Jobs' introduction of the original iPhone (this is long, just watch pieces)
- Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream
- Derek Sivers' Weird, or Just Different?
- Nancy Duarte's The Secret Structure of Great Talks
- Garr Reynold's Story, Emotion, and the art of the 21st Century Presentation
Other sources of potential videos (please preview any videos you use - some are definitely not safe for school!) include:
Steps
- Students will take notes about specific elements of the great presenters.
