ENGL 2311 Recommendation Presentation

 

 

 

2

 

Purpose

To present your recommendation to a leader of a real company in an industry or field of your choosing.

 

Assignment

 

Create the equivalent to a 10- to 15-minute presentation for your UNSOLICITED recommendation to be delivered to a leader of a real company in an industry or field of your choosing. Because our course is online, your presentation should be delivered electronically using easily accessed presentation software: PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi, Moviemaker, iMovie, or another. (You will need to practice your presentation to determine the appropriate number of slides because presentation length is largely determined by the presenter’s style; however, you are not required to actually present your work, record your voice, etc.)

 

Your presentation should include the highlights of your report, be visually appealing, and complement your report. Essentially, it should be a shortened version of your long, well-researched and prepared recommendation report.

 

NOTE: Your presentation should NOT be slides with large blocks of text taken from your report or research. The report and presentation should work together in persuading your audience.

 

· The content of your report should include the following sections (further explained in Chapter 13 and in the class notes): introduction (summary of context and recommendation), scope (what the report covers and why), and discussion (analysis of criteria—the factors used in making the decision), and conclusion (final thoughts and reminder of recommendation).

 

Audience

Write this for an expert audience. Select a specific leader of a real company in an industry or field of your choosing.

 

Constraints

You are welcome to include elaboration in the “Notes” of your slides, since you will not actually be delivering your presentation.

 

 

Reading Requirements

Notes from class and Chapters 3 and 13
