M3
Assignment, you will prepare a MicroSoft PowerPoint presentation that focuses
on a different culture that you would like to learn to communicate with
effectively. At a minimum, the presentation should include the following
elements:
- Overview of the culture.
- Key characteristics and dimensions of the culture
that should be learned before communication begins (include at least six
dimensions). - Compare and contrast the culture with your culture
(based on the dimensions you included in #2). - Create a culture communication plan specifically
for your chosen culture that will help you and your workplace to conduct
effective communication. This culture communication plan should include an
outline or brief discussion of the three or four components you have found
most critical. - Provide a summary and recommendations for your
organization to move forward with training for cultural communication.
Your
presentation should be a minimum of 15 content slides (not including the title
slide and references slide). Your slides should include either speaker notes
placed in the “notes” section of the slide or you should record audio on each
slide. In addition, you should have a minimum of three scholarly sources.
References should be written in proper APA formatting.
Instructions:
The Notes panel of your slides will
contain your speech script; this will be word-for-word exactly what you would
say to accompany each slide. Be sure to read your speech aloud several times so
that you’re confident that the language you’re using sounds conversational and
not like a term paper or essay. Remember to use transitional words and phrases
to make your speech flow smoothly.
It’s critical to cite the sources that support your points
and subpoints. Citing sources orally (as you would be doing for a speech) is
different from citing them in a paper. For a refresher on how to do this, see
Citing Sources Orally in the Announcements area in this course.
When you are ready to submit your slides and script, you
must save your slides in a format with the slides on the top of a page, with
the accompanying notes (your script) beneath each slide, as seen below.
Do not submit a PowerPoint file. Instead, print your notes pages to PDF, or export
your presentation to Microsoft Word, and choose the layout with “notes
below slides.” I must be able to see both your slide and script on the
same page; if not, your speech will be returned with a zero for a grade, and
you will have one opportunity to revise.
If you are using Microsoft PowerPoint, see the
article Add speaker notes to your slides and
