Inquiry | Persuasive Presentation

Today, the companies presented their shelter design to bid for the building contract. We presented a slideshow that included information about the shelter design, materials and benefits.

Before presenting, our company focused on timing our presentation and practicing our lines so that it was within two and three minutes. We added onto and changed some parts of the script to make it longer.

We needed to persuade the representitives of Panmure Bridge School that our shelter is best for the certain natural disasters. We needed to include eye contact, clear presenting and the reasons why our shelter is best.

After that, our company presented our model and presentation to the class and representitives (Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie). Our presentation also included diagrams to give a visual representation of the model.

The feedback we were given for our presentation was that in case of a lightning/thunder storm (which was one of the storm types our shelter could withstand), that it would not be best to use metal for the wall interior. We also did not have a clear enough understanding of New Zealand storms and what materials should be used for certain conditions.

What we did well in the presentation was delivering the right information and giving the audience a clear understanding of what we were saying. What we could improve on is having good reasoning and using our knowledge of certain topics to eliminate opponents that do not have benefits or advantages. We delivered enough information to our client and were able to persuade them into buying our shelter and won the building contract.
