​​
(ii) Suggest THREE presentation techniques that you would use to keep the group interested when giving an oral presentation. Justify the suitability of each technique.
Presentation Techniques & Justification
  1. Open microphone  - Helps to turn personal stories of encounters with the homeless into action, because the health professionals can get ideas on how to handle the homeless issue from each other.
  2. PowerPoint presentation - The PowerPoint presentation can visually organize complex data on homelessness. So, the PowerPoint presentation can make the delivery more efficient because it is easier for the health and wellness professionals to understand.
  3. Handouts - Provide important information during the presentation that can be discussed quickly because everyone has access to the information. Particularly helpful during a practical session where the health professionals are asked to produce actionable results at the end of the presentation, aka, do a mini presentation in groups.
