An oral presentation is one of the most essential skills in business communication. Students will develop a three- to four-minute scripted training presentation that focuses on the foundations of business communication. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an audience with an overview of business communication. Visual aids such as images, clip art, transitions, and animations must be appropriately applied. Students must follow the guidelines for developing visual support provided in the textbook.

Each presentation should include:

• Title slide
• Reference slide
• Proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, and APA format for citations
• Clear, concise information on the slide; more detail can be articulated verbally
• Appropriate transitions, visual aids, pictures, charts, etc.
• Eight to ten slides with three to four minutes of narrative (this means voice-over to go along with each slide in your presentation).
