1. Explain how stories are judged.

Storytelling is an important part of being human. We use stories to pass on information, share our lives, and potentially help others with communication activism.

2. Describe different types of organizational patterns and why they are used.

Choosing an organizational pattern should be based on the needs of the topic for your presentation. Think about the best type of pattern for your topic. Be sure you can answer “Why this pattern?” when thinking about your topic.

3. Create the various parts of the presentation (introduction, body, conclusion, and transitions).

Knowing the various parts of a presentation will help you craft a better message. Starting and ending your presentation strong will help the audience remember your speech. Transitions will help keep your audience (and you) organized.

4. Demonstrate the basics of outlining.

Outlining your presentation is essential for your success. Do not skip this important step. Outlining will help you build your best argument and present it in a way that is appealing for your audience.

5. Analyze how time considerations influence your presentations. 

Knowing your time considerations for your presentation will help you with organization. The presentation should be within the assigned time limits.
