Example text
Borden's ho-hum method Richard C. Borden, a speech professor at New York University, described this formula, which is based on the four stages of an audience's reaction to a speaker: Ho-hum Why bring that up? For instance The audience is waiting for a reason to pay attention. Give them one! Why is this topic important? What's in it for the listener? Give examples, evidence, or tell a story which supports your point. Organize your presentation 25 So what? What do you want them to do about it?
Here we summarize four others for you. Much of what we have previously discussed concerning introductions, conclusions, and transitions applies to these methods as well. Question and answer Robert Anholt's book on technical presentation is strongly oriented toward research presentations. He advocates using the introduction to pose a question. The body of the talk then consists of the gradual unfolding of the answer to that question. Very often a research question can be broken down into a series of smaller questions.
The introduction should also put your topic into a larger context. Instead of jumping right into a talk about species differences in the enzyme phosphofructokinase, tell why you chose to look at this particular enzyme. If the ultimate goal is to cure an infectious disease, discover regulatory pathways, or show the advantages of your new analytical method, make sure you say so in the clearest possible terms. Putting your topic into context also means providing enough background information so that everyone will be able to follow the rest of the story.
