2. Unrehearsed Presentation Outlining
Impromptu Presentation Structures
| |
Position, reason, example, position (PREP) Structure
|
Divide and Conquer Structure
|
This structure is useful when you are asked to state your position about an issue (in a persuasive presentation). In this model, first you state your position on the topic, and then you state your reason for taking that position. Next, you provide an example or story that supports your reason. Finally, you summarize by restating your position.
| The second structure calls for you to quickly think of a way to divide up your response. There are a few classic two and three part divisions that you’ll want to memorize such as: past, present, future; problem, (cause,) solution; cost, benefit; us, them; ideal, real; low, medium, high. You just pick an appropriate division and then include a little bit for each section. |
