Chapter 4 Ringing Chimes

Linda Burkelll, states that in the educational field when we present a presentation we need two things to be done but also well done (p. 62).  The presenter needs to be effective by accomplishing two things which are to get the learners attention and make the presentation memorable.  For example when I used to teacher History to my ESL students I would dress up as Pocahontas this was done so that the students would show interest and would like to see what the presentation would be about.  The lesson would help students grasps a better understanding of the history lesson. With this in mind, I needed to make sure that I was able attract the audience not distract the learner.  Once you have accomplish getting the attention of your audience, you need to learn how to keep your audience attention long enough to make the presentation stick.
