Topic: Storytelling
Adaptation Plan
Speaking directly to the audience: I will talk directly to the audience. I will use personal pronouns, and I will go slowly to make the audience can clearly understand what I want to share with them.
Building credibility: At first I will tell them I have taken the storytelling course recently. And I will show them the note I made and the book I got from the storytelling teacher. Then at last I will demonstrate a story for them.
Getting and maintaining interest: I will use some examples to let them know storytelling is relative to our daily life. And I will use a happy tone to make the audience feel that storytelling is interesting.
Facilitating understanding: I will slowly introduce what storytelling is to make them can understand clearly. And I will demonstrate a story with the skills I tell them. Then the audience can know how to use the skills.
Increasing retention: I will give as many as possible examples to make them understand better. Besides, by telling a story should help retention.
