A talk should help a particular audience understand or do something. Set one useful outcome before gathering stories and slides.

Worked example

Audience: new learners. Outcome: choose one realistic weekly practice habit by the end of the talk.

Put it into practice

Write a purpose statement and identify what your audience already knows and what may concern them.

Check your understanding

• Explain the main idea in your own words.
• Compare your result with the worked example and identify any assumptions you made.
• Record one question or edge case to discuss with your instructor.

Connect this to your project

Prepare and record a five-minute practical talk with a clear message, useful supporting evidence, and a short question session.

Keep the output of this activity in your project folder. You will use it when you review and present your final work.
