  13. Designing a Lecture • Getting attention • Goals, advance organizer, little picture/big picture • Components of a lecture • What are the main points (chunks)? • attention span - where are pauses appropriate? What will those pauses accomplish?

  14. Delivery • Why is delivery important? • What do you need? (notes, AV, etc.) • How does context determine delivery? • Assess your “platform” skills • Intention, focus, practice • Feedback, Reflection and change

  15. Using PowerPoint • Keep the lights on • Move away from the podium • Slides should support your narrative, not replicate it – use slides as visual aids • Less is more (less text, more graphics) • Other guidelines?
