"Most great stories of adventure, from The Hobbit to Seven Pillars of Wisdom, come furnished with a map. That's because every story of adventure is in part the story of landscape, of the interralationship between human beings (or Hobbits, as the case may be) and topography. Every adventure story is conceivable only with refence to a particular set of geographical features that in each case sets the course, literally, of the tale."-Michael Chabon

1-What presentation techniques do you notice Gilbert using?
2-How does he catch your attention?
3-How does he use visuals?
4-How do you notice him making/framing his argument?
5-What would you do to improve Gilbert's presentation?
Gilbert uses a lot of stats and hand gestures to grasp attention. His humor and constant movement help to keep focus. Travis, Clint Steve Tyler Chelsea
Group 4 -The quotations, experiments, and data helped frame his argument by making it not just heresy and statistics being thrown at the audience. -He did, however throw a lot out there and made it a little hard to follow with so many different examples.

Group #3 How did he use visuals? We discussed that he used his visuals well. The power point was consistent and very direct/to the point. He could have dressed better to show his professionalism, but the way he used the powerpoint was great. For talking about happiness, the slides were very dark and depressing. He could have explained his graphs better, we all agreed that they were confusing. Had he done that, the presentation would have been much more forceful.
5) One thing we thought could be improved was less moving around on stage, as it became a little distracting when he walked all over - some moving would be OK but not as much as he did.

ReplyDeletefirst thing he said was that he had 21 minutes to speak, audience can relate.
Humor and real life examples, analogies the audience could relate to, fast pace, excited about what he was talking about.
