Activity Two

Ames (2016) argues that PowerPoint is arguably the most frequently used presentation software in corporate environments. Berko, Wolvin & Wolvin (1998) also add that one of the most effective approaches to enhancing listener comprehension of a message is the development of well-supported points. In doing this activity, I found it very helpful for a number of reasons. Firstly, planning the assignment from introduction to conclusion will make it very clear with what I need to put in the maiden speech. Also, it is made evident what I am struggling with in understanding the assignment. I am then able to reach out to the teachers to find the answers of what I am unsure of. There is also a lot of time before the maiden speech is due, so it is good to plan now and have plenty of time to really consider everything involving it.
