PRES: Sept. 28th

Hello All,
this entry should help you prepare your first presentation that falls immediately after Chusseok. Great: you have lots of time to prepare.
In case you missed today's class here are some helpful items for you:
a) final hints on what to pay attention to when you are preparing your demonstration/instruction presentation
b)a sample of Demonstration presentation made by me
c) Rubric
*******************************************
a)
NARROWING DOWN YOUR TOPIC
Make sure that your topic is not too broad. You cannot tell us in 5-10 minutes how to do gardening, but you can tell us how to plant tulips. A suggested list of topics is on page 69, but you’re welcome to think about a topic that will be interesting to your classmates.
BASIC PATTERN OF A GOOD INTRODUCITON (summary on page 88)

1. Catch the listeners’ interest
2. Create a good rapport with the audience (being personal, asking questions)
3. Introduce the general topic of the speech
4. Move to the specific topic of the speech

ORGANIZING THE BODY OF YOUR SPEECH
-deciding on main points then dividing them into subpoints
-making an outline of main points and subpoints
-ordering the main points in logical sequence
-making transitions (don’t forget to use transitional words, i.e. Initially, at this point, finally, etc (see the “Turkish coffee” handout I’ve given you)

PREPARING YOUR CONCLUSION
-summary of your major points
-referring back to something you mentioned in the introduction
-mentioning a personal experience
-using a memorable quote

VISUAL AIDS
-making an outline (in Power Point or MS Word) is helpful – however, this is optional
-physical objects (actual things you're talking about)
-handouts (however, these are distracting as audience looks at them, doesn’t listen to you)
-chalkboard
-pictures/posters (need to be big enough so that everyone can see them)
-Power Point (don’t make it the focal point but the aid of your presentation).
For some hints on do’s and dont’s of PP presentations, use the scroll bar on the right to go all the way down to “Archives.” Click on “March.” Use the scroll bar one more time to scroll down to the menu on the right side, click on the entry PRS: June 2nd, Power Point Presentation Dos and Donts .
PRESENTING YOUR SPEECH
You may use notes on note card or A4 size paper. However, make sure that you only glance at your notes, not read constantly. Make sure that your audience understands you.

b) Making an easy low-calorie dessert: Apple- Vanilla Yogurt Delight
1.Catch the listeners’ interest
(a funny, well-known quotation)
Have you heard the expression: “The way to a man’s heart leads through his stomach?” It simply means that if you are good cook who can satisfy your lover’s food cravings, your magic in the kitchen will be awarded by his/her unconditional love.
2. Create a good rapport with the audience
(asking audience some questions – engaging them)
Have you noticed that couples always go for dinner? There’s something special about it. How much more special is cooking for the one you love? Have you ever done it? What were the results?
3. Introduce the general topic of the speech
(how to cook fast healthy dishes in this modern day busy lifestyle?)

But, why cook only for your man (or woman)? One of the sure-fire ways to show your friends that you really care about them is to have them over at your home and cook for them. Same goes for business partners, in-laws – anyone that you want to like you.

Alas, in our busy lives who has time to make elaborate dinners? In addition, you have to worry about what your friends would or would not eat. Many people today are so calorie-conscious, chances are some of your dinner guests wouldn’t even look at something that is high in calories and fat, let alone eat it.

4. Move to the specific topic of the speech
(how to make a low-calorie delicious Apple- Vanilla Yogurt Delight)

So, how can you make a nice traditional (Western) dinner that MUST include a dessert and must satisfy two criteria crucial in modern-day cooking: to be fast and a healthy, low-calorie, yet delicious?
The answer to your dessert dilemma is my magical Apple –Vanilla Yogurt Delight. It’s a dessert that is quick to make and is sure to satisfy even the pickiest among your friends without loading them with billions of calories – and you can make it in 10 minutes or less. (The end of the introduction)

e) variations


a) Utensils
Before you start preparing the Delight, make sure that you have a clean cutting board, a sharp kitchen knife, a spoon and a mixing bowl. Needless to say, wash your hands and tie your hair back
b) Ingredients
First, let’s see what simple ingredients are necessary for four servings of the Delight. All you need is 2 sweet juicy apples, 4 small containers of Dannon Vanilla yogurt, - and only if you like it – cinnamon.
c) Procedure
First we’ll wash and dry apples and peel them. Second, we’ll cut them in quarters and seed them. Third, we’ll chop them finely and put them into the mixing bowl. The apples are ready – that easy.
At this point, we’ll simply open the yogurt containers. Next, we’ll take the spoon and stir the yogurt gently. Then we’ll pour the yogurt over the apples and mix them well. Nothing more to do here.
d) Serving
You may serve this dessert in pretty glass bowls or even tall wine glasses. To serve, you’ll take your pretty containers and fill them up with the individual servings of the Delight. At this point, if you wish, you can sprinkle cinnamon on the top. I recommend to put your Delight in the fridge to sit for a few hours. The flavours will mix better and you will have a wonderful, low-calorie, ready to serve dessert for your guests.
e) Variations
Alternately, if you wish, you can sprinkle the Delight with chopped nuts or dry fruit. You may also use other fruit instead of apples, or mix different kinds of fruit. I like this recipe also with fresh halved strawberries, blueberries, peaches, pears, and apricots.

CONCLUSION
In summary, I hope I have demonstrated how easy this dessert is to make. Low-calorie ingredients like apples that are loaded with vitamins and yogurt laden with calcium and milk protein make it a very health-conscious dish. However, as healthy and low-cal as it is, it is delicious. (summary of the main point). It is bound to please whoever you’re cooking for: your friends will like you more and if you serve it to your partner, he or she will certainly do something nice for you. I’ve experienced this effect many times (personal experience). Don’t forget, also: cooking with heart does not have to be bad for your heart. (using the quote). The proof is in this recipe.
Optional: (finally, as the final “remember me” attempt, you serve little servings of the recipe to everybody).
