M5: Presentation Sketch (Assignment)
Speaking notes and draft slides
Instructions
Now that you’ve completed the outline of your Tribe Talk, you should begin to prepare detailed talking points, or a script, for your Tribe Talk.
Use the one of the templates provided below (or your own choice of a PowerPoint template) to “storyboard” your presentation. Be sure to include the following items in your sketch:
Approximately 5-9 slides of draft content, not including your references and introductory slides
Detailed speaking notes
One final slide with the references that you currently have
You will be completing your sketch using the slide template that you have chosen. Should you want to use one of the provided templates, you may do that as well.

There are several ways to approach this assignment; one would be to use your slides to serve as an “outline” for the talk. Oftentimes, the slides are what we do last after a presentation is written. This approach reverses that process in that we start with drafts (just concepts…not finished slides) of slides. The slide could contain a picture, freehand sketch, or just a few words.
Another approach would be to develop detailed speaking notes or a script from the your outline of your presentation (introduction, your Wicked Problem, describe why it is important, current situation, possible solution(s), execution considerations (key items from your Business Canvas), conclusion). Based on the outline, you might develop concepts for the slides. Using the Notes page format in PowerPoint, you might put the outline in the notes section and the slide concept above it.
Requirements
Complete the three items above using one of the template documents provided.
M6: Tribe Talk Presentations (Assignment)
Assignment Instructions:
In this module, all of your hard work needs to come together. You have developed your speaking notes, or script, and a solid first draft of your slides. You’ll receive some feedback from your instructor on the Presentation Sketch. The key is to carefully review your draft and make the changes you feel are appropriate. This is your Tribe Talk, and you are the final arbiter of what changes are, or are not, integrated into your presentation. Once you have made your changes, you are encouraged to rehearse your revised presentation several times before you record it. Then, make your recording.
Set your schedule up so you can step away from your recording for a day. Once you have waited some time, come back and watch it. Make notes of any items you want to change (use of vocal variety, final changes to slides, pacing, etc.). If you need to, rerecord your presentation. Attention to detail is the secret to a successful presentation.
Objectives
6.1 Develop a cohesive final Tribe Talk using the skills that you have acquired through the program.
Tasks
Submit your final Tribe Talk presentation.
At this point, you should be getting prepared to record your Tribe Talk! Once you complete your presentation, upload it to the discussion board below or post it to YouTube with no public access. Provide the URL with your submission.
Be sure to include the following in your final presentation:
1 introductory slide
5-9 slides of content
1 summary slide
A copy of your slides and written script
As you begin to finalize your slides, be sure to review the rubric and guidelines to make sure you have completed this project to the best of your ability.
Once you turn in your presentation, you will be required to seek out the same two presentations you watched previously and provide feedback to your peers. You are also required to review at least one more presentation that you have not seen before.
Requirements
In order to successfully complete this assignment, you should:
Turn in your Tribe Talk.
Next week you will provide feedback to two classmates on their TribeTalk
