A Model: A Multimedia Presentation
A multimedia presentation
includes...
a well designed slideshow AND a well prepared speech.
Never read your slides to your
audience because they can read!
When a slide is displayed, give your audience additional
information about the content that's on that slide.
This is part of my speech.
This is what I will say to my audience when I show them Slide 1.
Our assignment was to research an American Invention and to report our findings to the class. Well, the Ice Cream Sunday is an American Invention. It's not surprising that America invented the Ice Cream Sundae - considering America is the number one consumer of ice cream in the world where the average person eats at least 15 quarts of ice cream every year.In fact, ice cream is so popular in America that in 1984 President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July, National Ice Cream Month, and the third Sunday of that month, National Ice Cream Day.
This is part of my speech.
This is what I will say to my audience when I show them Slide 2.
Ice cream became a food item in this country in the 1700 hundreds and the first ice cream parlor opened in New York City in 1776. Ice cream parlors served Ice Cream Sodas.
In the 1800’s, it became improper to slurp Ice Cream Sodas on Sunday. Some towns actually went so far as to ban the sale of Ice Cream Sodas on Sunday. They passed a law that made it illegal to serve them on Sundays.No one knows for sure where or exactly when the first Ice Cream Sunday was served. Depending on which version of the story you believe, the first Ice Cream Sundae was first served either in 1881 in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, or in 1892 in Ithaca, New York, or sometime in the late 1800’s in Evanston, Illinois. Many believe that the invention of the Ice Cream Sundae happened on a Sunday, in one of these three cities, when some soda jerk - that’s what they use to call the person who worked behind the counter in an ice cream parlor - used syrup instead of soda to make an Ice Cream Soda!
- Just think - The Ice Cream Sundae was invented by simply switching one ingredient for another!
- It was not too long after its invention that the spelling of Sunday, S U N D A Y, was changed to S U N D A E so the religious leaders would not become upset about this new ice cream treat.

This is what I will say to my audience when I show them Slide 3.
What you see on this slide is the standard recipe for making an Ice Cream Sundae. You’re probably wondering if this is the only way to make an Ice Cream Sundae. The answer to that question is this – no, it isn’t. There are many ways to make an Ice-Cream Sundae.- In fact, I recommend that you visit this site - Hershey’s Ice Cream Sundae Recipes at http://www.sundaebest.com/recipes.html. When you get there you’ll find 34 different recipes for making an Ice Cream Sundae including the Tin Lizzie, the Caramel Apple, the Crunchy Monkey, the Wild Berry, and the Banana Royal. It seems that America is still inventing the Ice Cream Sundae!

This is what I will say to my audience when I show them Slide 4.- I think most people would agree with this statement. I mean, what’s there not to like about an Ice Cream Sundae? In fact, in 1985, someone REALLY agreed with this statement. In 1985 in Anaheim, California someone built an Ice Cream Sundae that was 12 feet high. It was made with 4,667 gallons of ice cream and 7,000 pounds of toppings! It was one of the biggest Ice Cream Sundaes ever made.
- Now, if you ever have second thoughts about ordering an Ice Cream Sundae – consider this: Some people think the Ice Cream Sundae is nutritious because the main ingredient in an Ice Cream Sundae is ice cream. And the major component of ice cream is milk and milk contains calcium which is very important for building strong bones.
- There might even be another side benefit! Some researchers have gone so far as to say that eating ice cream can make you feel happy and relaxed! What do you think? Would eating an Ice Cream Sundae, right now, make you feel happy and relaxed?
- This is part of my speech.
This is what I will say to my audience when I show them Slide 5.- I visited many online sites as I gathered information for this presentation. In my quest, I kept finding the same information over and over again. I cited these three sites because I thought they did a really good job of summarizing the information that I kept finding over and over again.
- Well this is the end of my presentation. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for being such a great audience.
