Discussion Questions for Online/Hybrid Classes
1. Many people fear public speaking. Describe if you are comfortable or nervous when
giving an oral presentation. If you are comfortable, share some of the strategies that
help you. If you tend to be anxious, share your specific fears.
2. Many colleges require that students take oral communication courses. Do you agree
or disagree with this requirement? Why?
3. Share an example of a time you gave an oral presentation. Was it at work? Was it
for another class at school? What did you do well? After reading the chapter, what
would you have done differently? What were you surprised to read in the chapter?
4. Why do you think body language is important during a speech? In an online
discussion, you are unable to see your classmates’ body language. Does that have
an impact on the how the class is conducted or on how classmates speak to each
other? Have you ever been misunderstood because a classmate couldn’t see your
facial expressions?

Oral Presentation Topics
1. Select one of the essays you completed from a previous chapter and use it to give
an oral presentation. Remember to select only the most important and interesting
points during your presentation.
2. Select a skill that you possess. Teach this skill to your class in an oral presentation.
For example, maybe you are a terrific cook and can share a recipe or cooking
technique. Maybe you know how to play a card game well. Maybe you are a runner
who can share techniques or stretching exercises. You may even consider a skill
specific to your future career.
3. Describe the three people who have had the greatest impact on you. For example,
was your mother extremely supportive? Did a certain teacher make a difference to
you? Consider both positive and negative influences.
4. Pretend you are a travel agent. Convince the class that they need to visit a specific
state or country that you love.
