Today, we formed into teams and selected each team’s product or service to use for the final deliverables in the class. You used Google Drive to collect your files and to begin collaborative writing.
The final deliverables include:
| Collaboration: Seven-to-Ten-Minute Oral Presentation to Sell a Product or Service | As a team, select one member’s product/service proposal as the basis for your team’s presentation. Collaboratively, your team will create and deliver a seven- to ten-minute oral presentation designed to sell a product or service to an audience of potential customers that demonstrates: 1. knowledge of oral presentation techniques and conventions. 2. the ability to organize a presentation effectively. 3. the ability to incorporate various media into the presentation, including appropriate computer software. 4. knowledge of the product or service offered, of pertinent market forces, and of the potential customer base. 5. the ability to communicate the value of the product or service in clear, spoken English. 6. the ability to answer audience questions. 7. the ability to collaborate productively with a partner or partners. A presentation script and PowerPoint visual presentation are required and will be submitted as part of the assignment. | 10% |
| Collaboration: Website Advertising a Product or Service | To support your team’s collaborative presentation, your team will create a web page advertising a product or service that demonstrates: 1. knowledge of the product or service offered, of pertinent market forces, and of the potential customer base. 2. basic knowledge of web page design and composition, including appropriate software. The website will be based on your presentation and it is encouraged to be integrated into your presentation (perhaps to demonstrate how your team is promoting your product or service). All graphics, logos, design, and text must be created by your team. | 10% |
| Collaboration: Report on Collaboration | Each team will write an informal report on their group’s progress with the oral product service proposal or oral analytical research report that demonstrates: 1. the division of labor among group members. 2. the adequate progress of each group member. 3. the group’s adequate cooperation. 4. an awareness of a supervisory audience. It is each team’s responsibility to track your progress and keep notes that can be integrated into this report. | 10% |
For your website, you are required to have 10 cited sources with some of them coming from the library databases or other vetted sources.
The presentation must include all team members with speaking parts in the presentation.
It is recommended that you use the website as a part of your presentation.
Remember, you are marketing the product or service that your team has selected. Some of the proposal material may be incorporated into your marketing material and presentation, but the proposal may not be used wholesale or without understanding that the purpose of these final deliverables are not to propose but to market something that you imagine has been approved and made.
