Assignment: Group Project Causes Of Poor Listening
MHA Informative Presentation Outline and Directions
Chapters: Hamilton Chapters 4 & 5
(Do not write out a script of your presentation)
General Directions:
Make sure that, as a group, you understand the purpose of your informative presentation. After reading your assigned chapters, you team must first decide your general purpose and specific purpose. After this, you must collectively decide on central themes revealed in the readings/chapters and identify these as Major Points which become the body of the presentation. You may use other sources as evidence in addition to the texts. Importantly, standardization, cohesion, and transition are extremely important to this presentation as is any group presentation to clients. This unity is how you must approach this assignment. Your outline must appear as one cohesive, standard outline and should not look like it was prepared by multiple people.
Each team member must participate in the presentation and each team member should have the same amount of time to present. How you organize who will present which information is up to you. The name of each team member must be included with the parts of the presentation for which they are responsible. All team members should participate in the Introduction, Application or Conclusion. Additionally, each team member must have a Major Point to present and presentation of each Major Point must be 5-6 minutes. If you have fewer than five people on your team, you must decide which information is most important for your class to know from you. You DO NOT have to cover six Major Points if you have less than six team members in your group. Your group will receive one grade for the outline.
Further, your presentation should be extemporaneous, meaning don't refer to notes during the actual presentation.
The same standards of unity and cohesion hold true for your presentation as they do for your outline. Your group must decide logical segues and transitions between presenters and sections. PowerPoint slides are expected and should all follow a standard template for cohesive, professional visual presentation. Importantly, your presentation must be uploaded to the Class Discussion Board and to the Informative Presentation link by the due date for your group. One person should be assigned to upload the presentation video to the "Group Informative Presentation Video to the Discussion Board for Class Review" links; this link in the Discussion Board will make your group's video available to all students in the class. Additionally, one person should also submit your group's PowerPoints slides and Informative Presentation to the "Group Informative Presentation Video and Power Point Slides for Grade" link; this uploading with the video will open the rubric for each member of your team and will allow for individual grading for certain parts of the presentation.
Make sure you read the information and watch the video to learn about Skype for Business. Your presentation must be recorded in Skype for Business. The intention for using Skype for Business is to familiarize yourself with this commonly used business software given that many organizations have members in different locations these days and use Skype as their primary communications tool.
After uploading your Informative Presentation video to the discussion board and assignment submission links, you will write a self-evaluation. Separate Instructions are provided for this self-evaluation assignment.
Realizing that this assignment requires much coordination just as a company presentation would with team members living in different locations, a separate schedule is provided to help you with organization of due dates for the outline, video posting and self-evaluation. This schedule is found with the assignment instructions on-line.
I. Introduction
1. Professional greeting: Identify team members, the professional association each of you represent, the company you work for, and the position you hold. Establish your credibility without being boastful.
Team member 1 -
Team member 2 - I am a Medicare Member Service Advocate with 20 plus years working in the medical field. I currently deal with helping members understand what benefits they have and advocating for them.
Team member 3 - I have been a Physical Therapist Assistant for over seventeen years. I currently work with Pediatrics and Adolescents in the school setting.

Team member 5 - Pediatrician for 15 years, currently a pediatric hospitalist at children's hospital, lecturer at medical school.
1. Major Opening/Opening Statement: Gain your audience's attention . Think about what your audience needs to know and how you will engage them. What can you say or do that will show them you understand their needs and that listening to your presentation will benefit them? Begin with an opening question or audience poll; a startling statement or statistic; a relevant story, picture, or graphic; a demonstration; a quote; or the like. Ex: Did you know that we spend 80% of our waking hours listening?
2. Audience Centered Purpose and preview: Clearly and concisely state your objective from the audience's view, and preview the major points you'll cover. Be sure to state the author, books and chapters you will be covering. A good purpose statement DOES NOT begin, "Today we are here to tell you about...". Think of the collective message of your chapters, capsulize it and state it with benefit to your audience. The preview should use the same terminology as what each of the Major Points is called.
(for example - understand the importance of effective listening and be able to implement nonverbal communication skills.....then list the major points)
II. Body: Major/Main Points
The body consists of major points that you'll present and their sub-points or supporting explanations, facts, statistics, and quotes. The number of major points, sub-points, and possibly sub-sub-points depends on the number of people on your team and how you organize your specific part of the presentation.
