Part Ⅰ Structure of an Academic Presentation
Overview: Generally speaking, there are three fundamental parts in a presentation: the Introduction, the Main Body and the Conclusion. The Main Body is the biggest part. The Introduction and Conclusion are relatively short. The Introduction should tell the audience what you are going to talk about. The Main Body should develop those themes or points in more detail in the order that you have introduced them in your Introduction. In the Conclusion you should pick out the main points from the Main Body and summarize them for your audience. So the Conclusion is similar to the Introduction in fact.
