Pick one concept from the assigned reading that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

One thing that I found very useful was how to use the data in a presentation. One useful way to use the interview as a reference is to use direct quotes. This way, your audience gets to know exactly how that person answered your question, and you won't twist around their words. You can use the data to support your main points. For example you can state your point, then use a quote from the interview to back it up. Another way you can it is to use their information is as a transition. Say you are talking about one main point and you need a way to transition into your next point. You can start by using a quote from the interview to and then go on and explain it and how it relates to your next main point. A quote from your interview can also be used in your presentation is as a conclusion. After speaking to the audience for a good while, the easiest and most effective way to end your speech is with a quote. Take a quote that would wrap up your presentation and use it at the end so that it stays with the audience.
