So what? Why is anything is anything we do in school important. Over the week when beginning to start our presentations we were asked to pay strong attention to the "so what" of what we were going to say. But why don't all presentations I sit through everyday focus on the so what? I sit in math learning the derivative of a square and in my mind I think "well that's some interesting information but why should I care?". I understand that when standing in front of a group of people, spouting out information it is important to focus on the so what. The "so what" keeps the audience's attention. A good presenter doesn't want their audience to feel the way I feel in math class. They want the audience to be interested in what the presenter has to be said. But My math teacher has a hard job, for even if he were to focus on the so what, he probably still wouldn't be able to capture the attention of a room full of teenageres, who lets be honest most of them would rather be anywhere else. My goal for next week when presenting is to not be like my math teacher but to engage my audience in my presentation on the elements of fiction. https://www.hamilton.edu/academics/centers/oralcommunication/guides/how-to-engage-your-audience-and-keep-them-with-you
