What makes a presentation memorable

What makes a presentation memorable?  What makes a presentation stand out from all the rest?  How will you make your Global Issue presentation memorable & stand out for the students in this class?

A presentation is made memorable if you really convey your message to the audience well, and the people spread the information that you shared with them to more people and your topic becomes well known. A presentation that would stand out from the rest could be one that makes the original presenter someone very important to the world, and their topic possibly becomes part of reality. I will make it to where my message is really conveyed out to the audience and people may take some action to help with ending Wildlife Extinction.

Game 5 World Series

I was very hype for the start of the Royals game last night. But after the first inning, I lost some hope of us winning it right there. As the game went I started to regain my hope because I remembered it usually takes till after the third time around the batting order for the Royals to heat up, and my theory was proven right once again last night. But that was after I fell asleep watching the game. I woke up and saw that they won, and I was very angry and happy at the same time. I am very happy that the Royals were able to pull it off, I hope we can do it again next year.

Hands-Free Scooter Current Event

Titans Love Their Hand-Free Scooters
The Tennessean
The Tennessee Titans football team have players.  They are riding the self-balancing hands free scooters.  They are riding them around the locker room before games/practice.  They riding them in the stadium before games and practices in the locker room.  They are riding them because they are fun and a cool new technology.

This relates to emerging technology because the hands free scooter is a really cool new technology that a lot of people want to have. Something cool that I learned was a lot of the players just ride around the stadium for fun, and when they go to the film room they get off of them and they are all lined up like a “nerdy biker gang” would do.
