Presentation:

When scoring your presentation, I will look at the following:

1. Body Language - Emphasis on standing tall, using your hands appropriately, and any movement is purposeful.
2. Command of the Room - Emphasis on speaking clearly with a strong voice.  Good eye contact with audience and sharks.  Supreme confidence, even if you have to fake it.
3. Preparation and Delivery- Emphasis on making a presentation that is not boring.  Deliver the information with passion and pride.  Did you an your partner easily transition from one thought to the next.
4. Content - Did you include the most important content for this presentation?  
5. Ability to handle questions:  were you prepared for possible questions and answer all questions in a professional manner?

Assignment 1:  Presentation Analysis

2.  Fill out the form below titles Shark Tank Presentation Analysis

Assignment 2:  Potential Questions

1. Create a list of possible questions the sharks may ask you in the shark tank.  These should be questions that you think the sharks will ask after you have given your presentation.  Therefore, they should be specific to your company.  You can create this list on a Google Doc.
