Research and Analysis Content, Design, and Delivery []v

A presenter is usually judged by three things: 1. The way it is **delivered**: 2. The way it is **organized**: 3. The way the presenter **feels** about the topic, the audience, and himself/herself: []
 * rapport with the audience
 * eye contact
 * loud enough voice
 * variety in the voice
 * relaxed look
 * concept and support are easy to follow
 * information mixed with interesting examples and stories
 * excitement and passion about the topic
 * confidence
 * positive attitude
 * enthusiasm about the topic
 * interest in the audience


 * 1) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**10-20-30 Rule** – This is a slideshow rule offered by Guy Kawasaki. This rule states that a powerpoint slide should have no more than 10 slides, last no longer than 20 minutes and have no text less than 30 point font. He says it doesn’t matter whether your idea will revolutionize the world, you need to spell out the important nuggets in a few minutes minutes, a couple slides and a several words a slide.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Be Entertaining** – Speeches should be entertaining and informative. I’m not saying you should act like a dancing monkey when giving a serious presentation. But unlike an e-mail or article, people expect some appeal to there emotions. Simply reciting dry facts without any passion or humor will make people less likely to pay attention.
 * 3) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Slow Down** – Nervous and inexperienced speakers tend to talk way to fast. Consciously slow your speech down and add pauses for emphasis.
 * 4) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Eye Contact** – Match eye contact with everyone in the room. I’ve also heard from salespeople that you shouldn’t focus all your attention on the decision maker since secretaries and assistants in the room may hold persuasive sway over their boss.
 * 5) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**15 Word Summary** – Can you summarize your idea in fifteen words? If not, rewrite it and try again. Speaking is an inefficient medium for communicating information, so know what the important fifteen words are so they can be repeated.
 * 6) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**20-20 Rule** – Another suggestion for slideshows. This one says that you should have twenty slides each lasting exactly twenty seconds. The 20-20 Rule forces you to be concise and to keep from boring people.
 * 7) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Don’t Read** – This one is a no brainer, but somehow powerpoint makes people think they can get away with it. If you don’t know your speech without cues, that doesn’t just make you more distracting. It shows you don’t really understand your message, a huge blow to any confidence the audience has in you.
 * 8) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Speeches are About Stories** – If your presentation is going to be a longer one, explain your points through short stories, quips and anecdotes. Great speakers know how to use a story to create an emotional connection between ideas for the audience.
 * 9) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Project Your Voice** - Nothing is worse than a speaker you can’t hear. Even in the high-tech world of microphones and amplifiers, you need to be heard. Projecting your voice doesn’t mean yelling, rather standing up straight and letting your voice resonate on the air in your lungs rather than in the throat to produce a clearer sound.
 * 10) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Don’t Plan Gestures** - Any gestures you use need to be an extension of your message and any emotions that message conveys. Planned gestures look false because they don’t match your other involuntary body cues. You are better off keeping your hands to your side.
 * 11) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**“That’s a Good Question”** – You can use statements like, “that’s a really good question,” or “I’m glad you asked me that,” to buy yourself a few moments to organize your response. Will the other people in the audience know you are using these filler sentences to reorder your thoughts? Probably not. And even if they do, it still makes the presentation more smooth than um’s and ah’s littering your answer.
 * 12) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Breathe In Not Out** – Feeling the urge to use presentation killers like ‘um,’ ‘ah,’ or ‘you know’? Replace those with a pause taking a short breath in. The pause may seem a bit awkward, but the audience will barely notice it.
 * 13) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Come Early, //Really// Early** – Don’t fumble with power point or hooking up a projector when people are waiting for you to speak. Come early, scope out the room, run through your slideshow and make sure there won’t be any glitches. Preparation can do a lot to remove your speaking anxiety.
 * 14) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Get Practice** – Join Toastmasters and practice your speaking skills regularly in front of an audience. Not only is it a fun time, but it will make you more competent and confident when you need to approach the podium.
 * 15) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Don’t Apologize** – Apologies are only useful if you’ve done something wrong. Don’t use them to excuse incompetence or humble yourself in front of an audience. Don’t apologize for your nervousness or a lack of preparation time. Most audience members can’t detect your anxiety, so don’t draw attention to it.
 * 16) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**//Do// Apologize if You’re Wrong** – One caveat to the above rule is that you should apologize if you are late or shown to be incorrect. You want to seem confident, but don’t be a jerk about it.
 * 17) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Put Yourself in the Audience** - When writing a speech, see it from the audiences perspective. What might they not understand? What might seem boring? Use WIIFM (What’s In It For Me) to guide you.
 * 18) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Have Fun** - Sounds impossible? With a little practice you can inject your passion for a subject into your presentations. Enthusiasm is contagious.

You should have notes for the audience and for yourself Mr. Mutasa Investigation questions The number Zero

1. Where did the number Zero come from? Mesopotamia[|http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-is-the-origin-of-zero] []

2. When did it spread to Europe? 12th century[] [] 3. Name the man who brought it to Europe? Leonardo Pisano Bigollo known as Fibonacci, [] [] 4. What city in Italy first used the number Zero? Milan

5. Describe what was wrong with the roman numerals number system? It is slower to do math with

6. Why were people afraid of the new number system? They were afraid that money changers would cheat them.

7. Contrast the roman numerals to the new number system The new number system has a zero and has different shapes. The roman numerals were just lines.

8. What difference did the new number system make in Europe?

9. Plan your own number system. 0a 1a 2a 3a 4a 5a 6a 7a 8a 9a 10a 11a 12a 13a up to 99. 100 = 0b 1b 2b and so on. Once you get up to 2600 and then you do 0aa 1aa 2aa 3aa and so on up to 5200were you do 0ab 1ab and you just add one more number once you get to 99zz were you then move to 0aaa 1aaa 44000= ≠≠ 66= ∂∂a 8= ∞

CREATE  Final Product Master Slide I changed the background and the text in master slide. media type="file" key="PowerPoint Presentation.swf" width="759" height="759" Put your final product here (refer to the instruction as to the form you need to place your product in. picture link or file) Changes made to the original Design I made some changes to my original design. I didn't put the font or pictures in the same place except for slide 1, the introduction. I changed the Title page font to Old English Text. I did not change the pictures for the 1st page except I did a different number system than ours. For the 2nd slide I called it the beginning of zero, not history. I didn't find a picture of where zero originated so I put in a picture of how the number system came all the way to now. I didn't change the 3rd slide. I changed the picture of Milan, Italy to a picture of Fibonacci on the 4th slide. On slide 5 I put on 2 pictures of how math has expanded. For slide 6 I did a game to see who was smart enough to know there wasn't a Roman Numeral system with the 3 other pictures. I added another slide (7) with a picture of the Roman Numeral system. For the 8th, 9th I had no pictures. On the last slide I had a smiling face on it. I changed it because It seemed boring if I kept the same layout for the entire pptp. I changed the pictures because the internet didn't have some of the pictures I needed. I think I did the right thing to change the pictures and layout. explain the things you changed from your original design to the final product and give reasons why you made those changes here Changes made to the original Plan I didn't have any animations for the titles. I changed the animation for the by line to turn and grow. I followed the plan for slide 1. I changed the animations and the text for the 2nd slide. I didn't put any text for the 3rd slide. The animations for the pictures was credit. For the 4th slide the animations for the text was random bars. The picture animation was boomerang. The animation for the text was spin for the 5th slide. The pictures were shape. I completely changed the 6th slide. There are no animations for it. It only had 3 pictures. Then I added in another slide (7) which had an animation for the tongue on the face. On the 8th slide I had the conclusion. It has no animations. On the 9th slide the bibliographies bounced in. On the last slide the smiling face had a custom animation. It was an extra slide. All the rest was the same. I changed the animations because some other animations seemed better than others I changed the transitions because some other transitions seemed better than others I think it was a good idea to do this so now it isn't so boring, clashing, or just plain wrong. explain where you did not follow your plan and give reasons why you did not follow the plan here  EVALUATE   Results of tests I asked 2 of my friends (and myself) to see my power point and take the test I planed for my pptp. Here are my results: **Anna** Yes, I have pictures relating to the subject Yes, I have more than 5 slides, I have 11 Yes, my slides are colorful Yes, I think I have the right amount of information Yes, I have bibliographies No, I don't have hyperlinks but I don't need them **Kekeli** yes, she has pictures relating to the subject yes, she has more than 5 slides (11) yes, her slides are very colorful no,some of her slides have a bit too much information for a pptp yes, she has bibliographies no, but she doesn't really need them (hyperlinks) other comments: it is a bit distracting that all her animations and transitions are different, i like that she has questions and games so that you can remember what you have learned in the previous slides and don't just forget. **Amy** yes, she used Google images very well by getting relative pictures that relate to the subjects yes, she had a good amount of slides ( 11 ) yes, she used a lot of colors in her background but she could have had some more couture full pictures yes, she had a good amount of information but she should have made it easier to read by making it a bigger font yes, her bibliography had all the websites that she used and she didn' t leave any thing out  no, she didn't have any hyperlinks but she didn't really need it   no, she had good information but it is all for the year sixes because of the content Follow the tests from your test plan and place the results here.

Recommendations for improvement I think that in the future I could put in a little less information and more advanced information. I will put in the same type of animations and transitions I will put the text in a bigger font I will keep everything else the same Suggest ways you could improve the product in future here

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle I need to analyse my information more. I need to give more reasons for choosing my design. I need to have more resources for plan. I would have made the design more detailed. I would have put more in the design brief. I would do more for investigation. explain what you would have changed in the way you followed the design cycle here
