Procedural Rhetoric Project
The Procedural
Rhetoric Project was so beneficial for me. Some of the things that I learned from
this project were that some of the audience might have no clue about the
subject. So, the presenter should be clear and try not use acronyms (example:
NIU). I can relate to this, as I was in a presentation and the speaker used
many acronyms. I was interested to know what each one stood for. Therefore, I googled them. A presentation
should not over-use acronyms because listeners cannot understand what is being
said. Also, speaker can make the
audience engage with the presentation better, by asking questions. When a
speaker asks questions, it makes me think about the topic and I become more
interested in what the speaker is talking about. Finally, a presentation must
be well-organized, with a clear structure. That way, the audience knows what to
anticipate and may be able to anticipate the direction of the speaker’s
argument. This helps the audience to think as they listen, also. My audiences
will benefit more from my presentations if I use clear, understandable language
and include interesting questions.
