Feedback on a Presentation
Subject: A Few Changes Before Your Presentation
Hi Evan,
Your presentation has a clear main idea, and the examples make the topic easy to understand. Before Thursday, please shorten the text on slides four and five.
Right now, the audience may spend more time reading than listening to you. Keep the main points on the slides and explain the details aloud.
Also, practice your ending. It stops suddenly after the last example. Add a brief closing statement that connects back to your main idea.
You have a strong draft. These changes will help your audience follow it.
Ms. Patel
VOCABULARY
Write the words or expressions from the message that are new to you or that you want to review.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Why does Ms. Patel want less text even though the examples are useful?
How would a closing statement solve a different problem from shortening the slides?
How does Ms. Patel make it clear that Evan needs to revise rather than start over?
