Download Oral Presentation Outline Template

The purpose of an oral presentation is to verbally describe your topic and further delve deeper into it based on the research you have done. It can be a daunting task, mostly if you have never done it before; therefore, preparation beforehand is necessary. It is similar to giving a speech but more interactive and, hence, slightly more challenging, requiring greater preparation and the ability to think quickly and on your feet. For an oral presentation, the following points must be kept in mind:

• Introduce your topic
• Introduce yourself
• Detail the presentation type
• Build up your case and give a quick summary of the main points.
• Brief typed points on the screen. You will elaborate on them verbally.
• A strong voice with conviction to grab attention
• Make an organized case – giving examples after all arguments.
• Look neat and sharp – but not distracting from your presentation.
