Case Study Presentation (Vanessa Diaz)
I.
Introduction:
A. Hey everyone! How many of you have made a friend in college and thought
“where have you been all my life?!” Well I have a friend like that and her name is
Shivani and she is one of my closest friends and someone who has been a huge
part of my college experience and life. She truly is my other half in friendship
form.
B. Reason to Listen: I am a pretty nice person so I think you all will get a great kick
of how I non-verbally acted like a brat towards one of my best friends and in the
end, you get to hear her reaction.
C. Thesis: (complete declaritive sentence)
D. Preview of main points: Today I am going to tell all of you about how mine and
Shivani’s friendship changed within a matter of weeks.

Body:
A. 1st main point: We met our freshman year in the spring when we joined Greek
life and ending up hitting it off. We moved into a house in Ingleside our
sophomore year with a few of our other close friends. Now two years later, we
will be going into our senior year together this fall. Shivani and I are both very
open and outgoing people so we feel whenever one of us is upset, sad, happyany kind of shift in our mood.
