One week after presenting my AP5 The Abstract Concept, I had the opportunity to evaluate the same project speech at NUSS TMC. Voted Best Evaluator!
The speaker's topic was Marslow's hierarchy of needs. As I mulled over the points to commend and recommend, I remembered Wekie Tay's powerful use of alliterative triads which helped him clinch the championship at the Area Z3 Evaluation contest 2009.
As I played around with my points, alliterative triads came into play as well, to my absolute delight.
This was what I included in my evaluation.
COMMENDATIONS: 3Es
Encompassing - The speech encompassed different aspects of informative speech such as definitions, examples, visual aids and a quotation.
Explanation - The concept was clearly explained and illustrated with a diagram to demonstrate the hierarchy in the different needs listed.
Example - An example was used to demonstrate how the Marslow's theory of hierarchy of needs can be applied to the workplace environment, showing its relevance to our daily lives.
RECOMMENDATIONS: 3Ps
Placement of laptop - Logistics setup is important. Place the laptop where you can easily view the slides from it without having to turn your head to view the slide on the projector screen.
Pictures - Include more pictures in the powerpoint presentation as pictures speak a thousand words. The slides were too wordy.
Personal anecdotes - Include these in your speech to enliven and energise your speech.
In conclusion, continue to use the 3Es to excel in your presentation and consider the 3Ps to make your presentation more powerful, and you will be on your way to becoming an impactful informative speaker.
