“In a presentation, through training and practice, you can develop in your way a state of being ever ready.” – Garr Reynolds

To ensure your Persuasive Presentation is delivered in the most authentic and natural way possible, film a video presentation of yourself rehearsing your delivery. This will allow you to experience one formal practice session before the final video presentation, and it will provide you with feedback on your delivery and execution.

Proceed to the “Instructions” section for detailed instructions on your initial post.

The final Persuasive Presentation will contain both video of yourself presenting and a slideshow; however, for the Delivery Rehearsal, you will only focus on the video presentation component. 

• Before you record your Delivery Rehearsal, practice delivering your revised Persuasive Presentation Outline a few times with a stopwatch to ensure you are on track for time.
• Review “Instructions on Recording Speeches (PDF)” downloadand “How To Guide” on the Module 1 Recording and Sharing Presentations page.
• Record and upload your Delivery Rehearsal.

• Must incorporate outline revisions suggested by your instructor from the Module 5 Persuasive Presentation Outline Assignment
