Start-Up Activity
Ask students to scan the classroom for an object that they could name, describe, and show to their classmates. Pick a number of volunteers to give a brief show and tell presentation about their objects. Encourage the volunteers to speak loudly and clearly. Tell the audience to listen carefully and respectfully. After a number of presentations, explain that the subject of this chapter—giving an oral presentation—involves a lot of showing and telling. Then read through the chapter-opening page.
Think About It
“The success of your presentation will be judged not by the knowledge you send but by what the listener receives.”
