Here are some helpful tips on creating your visual aid.
Visual aid options: Prezi --> video explaining what a Prezi is (think fancier, picture-based PowerPoint) PowerPoint: include pictures, easy to read font, only clips of the most important information, proper conventions, etc. Save in: To Teachers, Muldoon under your name Video Clips: you may show short video clips found online, but must introduce clip by explaining its relevance as well as discussing after. Can be no longer than 25% of your entire speech. For example: Total speech = 6 minutes, then video clip can be 1:30 long. Poster: pictures, key facts, must be visually interesting, recommend printing information instead hand writing, large font, neat, correct conventions Tri-Fold: see above. Collage: a more artistic approach to the poster; collage images together than represent the main themes of your topic, minimal words should be included, at least 18x24 in size, visually appealing, neat Visual Timeline: helpful if trying to show an evolution or change in the history/progress of your topic, could use large butcher paper from the library, recommend printing information instead of hand writing, large font, neat, correct conventions Handout: think mini poster; should include pictures or infographs, be visually interesting and appealing, correct conventions, cite sources Other idea: Let me know! You may present facts or main ideas on your visual aid or you may simply present pictures that help illuminate your main points. Here is a sample presentation that would accompany a pro-life speech. I included the main points in the comments section, so you can follow how the pictures would match the spoken words. When making NOTECARDS, you're basically outlining your paper (which you've already done!) I would suggest creating 1 notecard for your introduction and conclusion, and then only putting your 2-3 cited facts per main point on notecards because you should be able to verbally explain the rest from memory. The differences between a paper and a speech: In a speech, you SHOULD be direct with your transitions so the audience can follow along. For example, in a topic sentence, you can say, "My first main point is that ... " or "One main counter-argument against my position is...." Also, you must verbally cite your sources. Instead of a paper where they go in (parentheses), you include them into your sentence. For example, "According to savetheanimals.com, animals die horrible and unnecessarily painful deaths in factory farms." You may use as few or as many notecards as you want, but remember you get graded on eye contact with the audience!
