Spontaneous
Presenta5ons
One
of
the
most
important
aspects
of
making
an
impromtu
presenta5on
is
to
impose
some
structure.
I
suggested
a
simple
5meline
1. My
rst
rela5onship
with
the
subject
(then)
2. My
rela5onship
with
the
subject
now
(present)
3. My
future
rela5onship
with
the
subject
(future)

Naturally,
it
is
possible
to
have
other
structures
and
even
to
play
around
with
the
simple
5me
line.
Why
not
start
with
the
future
and
then
ashback
to
the
past?
Other
structures
can
readily
be
provided
by
looking
at
a
spa5al
perspec5ve
i.e.
by
comparing
the
subject
here
(e.g.
in
Denmark)
with
two
other
places
(e.g.
Germany
and
US)
It
is
the
sense
of
order
that
is
central!
