Video – The Piano Guys original tune: All of Me

The video we watched an original tune by The Piano Guys: All of Me. Jon Schmidt (the pianist) wrote this song years ago and many people have performed it on YouTube. Finally, he recorded his version for YouTube.

Enjoy the video again.

Lesson 12 – The Conclusion

The Introduction & The Body Practice
We practiced The Introduction and The Body parts of our speech with our classmates. We gave and received feedback using the handouts.

The Conclusion
We looked at the Speaking of Speech textbook and learned about The Conclusion.

Use the past tense to remind us what you told us in the overview slide using the future tense. Also, include one focus point (the best example or number).

For your conclusion slide, you can copy and paste your overview slide. It is OK to include your focus points on your slide. However, try to use fewer words on the slide than what you say. Also, animate each main point and focus point separately. If you would like a challenge, don't write your focus points on your slide. Instead, remember them and say them.

In addition to the focus point for each point of your conclusion, I suggest a final focus point. You can introduce your final focus point with these words …

If you only remember one thing from my presentation, please remember that …

After that, show your title slide and finish with Thank you! (do not say "I'm finished.").

This is a powerful way to end your conclusion.

Next Lesson (7/8)
Next week some of you will give your final speech. Everyone should be ready.

Remember:

• Do not write sentences on slides
• Use keywords or images
• You cannot use notes
• Memorize your final sentence and practice it many times

Continue building your Final Speech. Practice, practice, practice. Practice makes perfect.
