Getting to your big idea

  • What do you want your audience to do differently after?
  • Why should we care about your experience?
  • What did you learn from your experience?
  • How did your experience move you from one point to another in your life?
  • Journals

What do you want your audience to FEEL?

Untitled Slide

Consider using a Feelings Wheel (such as this one https://blog.calm.com/blog/the-feelings-wheel) to dig deeper into what you want your audience to feel.

Sharing Your Experience

  • What you SHOW
  • What you SAY
  • What they TAKE AWAY
What they TAKE AWAY should be the ONE BIG IDEA you came up with in our activity.

WHAT YOU SHOW

visual (noun): something that appeals to the sight and is used for effect or illustration

What you share should have:

  • Something visual (photo or other image, video, diagram, etc.)
  • Something with a few words

The visual makes the audience curious.

The text introduces one (and only one) idea.

Notice this slideshow as an example

Eye-catching visuals and one idea per slide.

Digital Artifact

Is that what you're showing? Be clear.
Yes, what you show at the Expo could be your Digital Artifact, but doesn't necessarily have to be!

Group Projects

What part will YOU own?

WHAT YOU SAY

(and how you say it)
In this case, it is BOTH what you say AND how you say it!

Cheat out!

"To "Cheat Out" means that the performer readjusts his or her body with an audience in mind."

Toes should point toward who you’re talking to

Don't read to your audience

If you read to me, I won’t listen during an event like this. It will feel boring to your audience.

Smile and make eye contact.

Tips for Group Presentations

  • Everyone looks at the one speaking.
  • Break down who will say what. Make a plan.
  • Practice! More than once!

WHAT THEY TAKE AWAY

Untitled Slide

Figure out your 1 big idea, then write it as one sentence.

You will be asked to submit your ONE BIG IDEA to a Google Classroom assignment.

In ONE sentence!! Well crafted and thought out.

Clearly being able to articulate your ONE BIG IDEA will help you be prepared for the Expo.

Your audience is giving you the gift of their time and attention. Give THEM the gift of your one big idea as their take-away.

Practice

Practice with a partner or group of 3+

Practice

  • Practice your presentation (or your part) with a friend or 2
  • Have them say "What I'm hearing you say is..."
  • If they haven't captured your ONE BIG IDEA, make some changes.

Ms. Wilson can help!

Expo Structure

What will it be like?

Expo Structure

  • Start together in MPR: Keynotes, alum video

  • Choose between table or presentation time

Dress for Expo

Business Professional / Interview Wear

Dress is business professional if possible. Don't go out to buy something new, but do wear something you already have that is professional.
