Exercise 31

Develop an opening for a presentation.
This chapter listed six types of effective openings for an oral presentation-quotation, question, hypothetical situation, story, startling fact, and visual aid. Select two of these methods, and develop effective openings for the same oral presentation. First, plan your presentation by describing your purpose; second, perform an audience analysis by identifying the demographics, the knowledge level, and the psychological needs of a potential audience; third, prepare two effective openings for your presentation, and explain why you selected these types.
