Lesson 2: Revise the Presentation After Delivery
A presentation draft gets better when you test it with an audience.
You do not need a perfect speech today. You need to find out whether the slides help someone understand your evidence.
Delivery is a test
When you present, the audience is not only judging polish. They are testing whether the presentation works.
A useful presentation should make these ideas clear:
- what artifact you are explaining;
- why the artifact matters;
- what evidence you are showing;
- what changed during revision; and
- what claim your evidence supports.
If the audience cannot identify the main point, the deck needs revision.
Prepare a short delivery
Use your three-slide draft from Week 2.
Plan a one-minute explanation:
Slide 1: What is the artifact and who is it for?
Slide 2: What evidence are you showing?
Slide 3: What changed, and what does the evidence prove?Do not read every word on the slide. Explain the evidence.
Collect useful feedback
Ask for feedback that can lead to a repair.
Weak feedback question:
Did you like it?Better feedback questions:
Could you tell what the artifact was?
Which slide was hardest to understand?
Was the text readable from your seat?
Did the evidence match the claim?The goal is not praise. The goal is a better artifact.
Lab 2: Deliver, record feedback, revise
Deliver the short presentation to a peer, small group, teacher, or approved review process.
Record at least two feedback notes:
| Feedback source | What they noticed | Revision decision |
|---|---|---|
| Peer review | Slide 2 image was too small | enlarge image and reduce text |
| Teacher check | Claim was too broad | add chart limitation |
Then revise the deck.
Make at least one visible change.
Revision evidence
Do not only say "I fixed it."
Record before and after:
Before:
Slide 3 said, "My portfolio is good."
After:
Slide 3 says, "The chart shows six listed artifacts, but it does not judge quality."
Why:
The revised claim is more accurate because it names what the chart can and cannot prove.Presentation strand checkpoint
This is the third week of the presentation strand. By the end of today, you should have:
- a short deck;
- a clear audience and purpose;
- evidence on at least one slide;
- speaker notes or delivery notes;
- feedback from a review; and
- a revised version.
That is enough to show presentation growth without pretending the deck is a final professional product.
Evidence checkpoint
Save:
- presentation delivery notes;
- at least two feedback notes;
- one before/after revision record;
- the revised presentation file; and
- one sentence explaining how the revision helps the audience.
