Motivational Presentation

Assignment Four: Motivational Presentation
To do: Create an original motivational presentation.
This assignment has three components:
1.)    Brainstorm ideas and create an outline using one of the organizational techniques discussed in the course. Submit the outline prior to developing the speech so your instructor can provide you with feedback. Also include this outline in your final submission (5 points).
2.)    Write out the presentation "structure," using the concepts discussed in the course (particularly Assignment #2). The written speech itself is less important than your analysis. Include all Elements of Good Presentations (10 points).
3.)    Record your five minute presentation as if you are delivering it to an actual audience. Upload it to YouTube via an Unlisted link. (Instructions and demonstrative video to follow on Blackboard). (15 points)
