You did a good job of identifying your target audience and the venue for your presentation, as well as communication strategies.

Just two additional strategies needs to be addressed:

How will you avoid issues with language or bias (i.e. using jargon or slang)? 

What needs might your audience have (i.e. hearing impairments, language barriers).

Your call of actions from your proposal need to be aligned with those in your slideshow.

In addition, you will need to discuss the benefits and also identify drawbacks.

What specifically are your recommendations for improvement?  What are the benefits of these recommendations?  How does your identified benefits support the recommendations? You must also identify drawbacks. What are the drawbacks of implementing your recommendations?  Are there any potential considerations to consider with implementing your recommendations and call to action?

Think of this rubric item as an 'addendum' to your presentation which is not intended for your audience.

Please include an additional slide that evaluates your communication strategies and plans for your presentation. 

What are the norms (rules) of the public venue where you will present your information? How do the norms presented align to the audience/public venue in which you are presenting? For example, if presenting in a conference room then there may be a requirement that the event maintain the highest levels of professional conduct including in speech, which is completely different from presenting at a community center or local space.

How has your presentation addressed the cultural needs and expectations of the group (i.e. some audience members may speak different languages and have different backgrounds and cultural beliefs)?

The goal of your presentation is to help your audience support and champion your topic. How is this achieved when the audience may have different cultural views from your own? By using speaker's notes and/or other visuals, how will you ensure these communication methods support the needs of your audience?

Please add a slide which discusses how you will use conventions that are appropriate to persuasive argument. They should be clear, logical and suitable for a variety of cultural backgrounds. They should eliminate figurative language such as metaphors, idioms, similes, etc. and enhance the accessibility of their information with alternative text or transcripts that identify verbal or visual content. They should avoid communicating bias, either intended or unintended.

In the Unit Resources: Communication Methods and Strategies the reading: "Writing Commons, Use Language That Is Sensitive to Your Audience" discusses the importance of using language that is appropriate to your target audience. It provides examples that will help you revise language within your writing and presentations to diverse audiences that is respectful and inclusive.
