The oral and visual elements should work together but not like they do in a conventional presentation in which the visual elements simply restate what you are delivering orally. You can deliver much more information with a couple good visuals than you can possibly talk about in 5 minutes. So you should make good use of your visual presentation; select important pieces of information and data and create visuals that argue for you without you having to describe all of the details they make visible. Your presentation should (1) be well paced (stay within the time limit!) and succinctly delivered; it should (2) clearly present your thesis statement at it stands on the day you give your presentation; (3) describe and summarize the significant political/social/cultural problem you’re addressing; (4) frame this problem with motives or warrants, which are current examples or incidents that show your audience that the problem you’re addressing and the solutions you’re advocating are alive and relevant right now; (5) give your audience a sense for the deep foundation of research on which your positions stand; and (6) demonstrate clearly how your oral arguments work together with the visual arguments, and how the visual arguments, on their own, articulate the depth and rigor of your thesis statement and your research.
