Pitch Presentation

Unit 3: Pitch Presentation

For this unit, you will work to develop an engaging pitch. Our class audience will act as stakeholders that you are working to convince to fund your project. You should present a professional, accessible, and persuasive presentation that highlights your “big, great idea,” along with a timeline, budget, and additional necessary information to allow the stakeholders to make an informed decision in approving or rejecting your pitch. For other class members’ pitches, you’ll act in the stakeholder role, deciding whether or not you’re persuaded to invest money in their innovations and ideas.

Task 1: Narrative Outline

During this unit, you’ll read about the structure and importance of narrative outlines in professional presentations. You’ll also identify them during a Practice Assignment. For this section of the project, map out the narrative structure of your presentation pitch. Where is the exposition (the who, what, when, and where) provided in your pitch? Where is the conflict introduced? Where is the solution and the “why” of the solution included? You should include this description in paragraph form with a simple outline drawing included.

Task 2: Pitch Presentation

Your pitch should first and foremost work to convince the stakeholders (the class) that your idea is not only interesting and cool, but actually useful/helpful and worth the investment. You should engage your narrative structure in the pitch to effectively tell the story of your idea or innovation in relation to a specific audience.

Your pitch should be no longer than 3-5 minutes and should be recorded as a PowerPoint, Prezi, or Keynote presentation with a voiceover (see Canvas for instructions) or a recording of you presenting the pitch “in person”.
