Book show and tell activities for kids
We writers need to think visually these days which is why I read this book It s brilliant It not only got me thinking visually in a strategic way but also boosted my confidence when it comes to sketching out my visual ideas I ll never be an artist that s for sure But using Dan s techniques I m already getting better at basic drawing My goal is to draw well enough to clearly communicate my ideas for visuals to graphic designers Business Art Nonfiction I bought this book because I teach presentation skills professionally and I thought I could find some useful tips that I might not be aware of yet Dan Roam has written a book that is a lot like a presentation Each page looks like a slide and I suspect much of it has been part of his own presentation skills training It is clear easy to read and uses a little humour He has his own way to express some of the ideas that go together to make up a presentation and what he says about structure and slides comes across effectively That s a good start but presentations are much than that He says nothing about key concepts like body language how to use your voice how to deal with difficult situations and how to adjust your presentation for different cultures He addresses the issue of performance anxiety stage fright but his comments are rather glib and don t really explain how to manage the visceral fear that takes hold of somebody who really is scared of presenting This book might be a good support for novices but it s missing a lot of important details I didn t really get anything useful out of it Business Art Nonfiction Turns out there are several types of stories to tell in presentations Dan speaks to the idea of understanding your audience understanding your purpose for a presentation understanding what goal you wish to achieve informative report imparting a skill overcoming an obstacle etc Dan writes and I love this When we tell the truth we connect with our audience we become passionate and we find self confidence When we tell a story we make complex concepts clear we make ideas unforgettable and we include everyone When we use pictures people see exactly what we mean we captivate our audience s mind and we banish boredom.

Show and tell 3 pdf I received this recently in a Goodreads giveaway and had higher expectations Business Art Nonfiction If you ve read Roam s early books on presentation drawing skills you ll see in this one that he is becoming less strict in his advice on only using drawings He repeats a lot of the earlier work here although in a greatly shortened format everything on drawing is covered on a few pages And he also is becoming open to using words and numbers and even mentions using photos in presentations here saying photos are worse than graphics or drawings but they do have a place He even provides some basic rules in using all these graphical presentation types I really didn t learn anything major new here although I have read Roam s earlier books so I know what he s offering There were a few suggestions that I liked that I hadn t noticed him mentioning before One involves drawing illustrations for your presentation and taking pictures to use in your software Another is to use hand drawings that are around 75% completed and finishing them live during your presentation He notes that the audience usually remembers that you ve done the whole drawing live Overall a very simple book on the basics of presentation tied to presentation software and or flip charts specifically focused on the types of stories all presentations follow and how to construct these stories Business Art Nonfiction
