There are 4 main parts to a formal presentation: 1) The introduction which tells the audience who you are and what they will hear. 2) Developing the body which is the most important part and where you present your information or ideas. 3) Using materials and involving people to enhance the presentation. 4) Concluding the presentation by finishing but hoping the discussion will continue with questions. Each part serves a specific function to effectively engage the audience and structure the presentation.

- 5. Each part has a specific function: THE INTRODUCTION This is to tell the audience who you are, why they are listening, what they will hear, how they will see the information, and what they should do (questions, participation etc.)
- 6. Each part has a specific function: THE BODY (developing your presentation) This is the most important part – it is why people are listening to you. If you have two pieces of information, say them. If you only have one, then only say ONE. Do not waste people’s time for your own presentation. This is also the most difficult – you need to maintain your audience’s attention, usually through personality and relevant facts.
- 7. Each part has a specific function: CONCLUDING This is finishing your presentation of information or ideas. It is usually not a conclusion (except in undergraduate courses). The presentation continues – with the audience asking questions. So, you finish, but the presentation should hopefully continue.

- 9. The plan is Explicit Knowledge Explicit knowledge is information you think about. You need to constantly think about where your presentation is going, where it has been, and what you are doing in terms of Presentation Outline.
