Assignment 5: Updated Outline and Assignment 6:
Add PowerPoint Slides
Deadline Assignment 5 and Assignment 6: 24 hrs prior to rehearsal
For Assignment 5, you will need to update your
outline by adding metalanguage to the body of
your presentation. For Assignment 6, create (a first
version of) your PowerPoint slides to be used at
the rehearsal.
Updated Outline
Use the Outline Template (outline template.docx)
to create this fuller version of your outline. Fill in
the template with your own answers to the
questions presented in each part of the template.
You can easily do this by highlighting the text with
your mouse and then either writing on top of my
text or pasting your new text over the old. Do not
change the color or numbering system in the
template. Figure 1 shows an example of what your
outline should look like. This second version of
your outline should contain, in addition to the
introduction and the conclusion, the following
metalanguage written in red, cursive text and
enclosed by parentheses (…).

Transition statements between
(1) the Introduction and
the first main topic area.
(2) each new main topic area.
Use either Internal previews,
Internal summaries, Restateforecast or Rhetorical questions
(see PowerPoint slides session 4).
(3) the Body and the Conclusion of
your talk.

Name your outline Lastname5.doc.
Upload this into the submission box in
MyCourses as a Microsoft Word
document (not as a pdf).

Upload your Assignments 5 and 6: Full
outline (including a conclusion) and
slides into the submission boxes in
MyCourses 24 hrs prior to your
rehearsal.

PowerPoint
slidesTechnology
Your PowerPoint presentation should include the following slides:
(1) The first slide (often called a ‘teaser’ slide) should
show a picture illustrating the problem solved by your
innovation, rather than a title.
(5) The Conclusion slide should be a mirror image of
the introduction in that the audience is reminded of
“the territory” that has been covered.
(2) When you introduce yourself, show a title slide that
contains the presentation title, your name, and name
of your department and university.
(6) Return to the original problem by once again
showing the teaser slide, and now tell the audience
why in the future this problem no longer exists
(because of your solution, of course!)
(3) The third slide (the overview slide) should have a
numbered list containing the 3-5 main topic areas
covered in your outline. Do not show any subtopics
in this slide.
(4) At least one slide should be created for each main
topic area. Each slide should have a heading from
one of the 3 topics in the overview slide.
(7) End with a further information slide that lists 3 or
more sources that you used.
Use proper referencing styles when writing this list
