<h4 style="font-weight: 600;">Instructions</h4>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It’s June of 2017 and you are working in the Communications’ Department of The World Health Organization. Your boss has asked you to prepare a five-minute<b><strong> presentation</strong></b> about the cholera outbreak in Yemen for a group of health reporters.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The <b><strong><i><em>purpose</em></i></strong></b> of the presentation is to spread awareness of the crisis, with the ultimate goal of securing funding for intervention efforts. The <b><strong><i><em>audience </em></i></strong></b>is a group of educated professionals with basic-to-moderate medical terminology and understanding.<span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Using the information in the article above, prepare a half to one-page organizational outline for the presentation. Base the structure on one explained in the pre-reading “Organizing Oral Remarks.”* Be sure to include the type of content you’d speak to under each of the major categories you select, as well as figuring out how you’d transition from one topic to the next. However, don’t worry about crafting an introduction or conclusion, as we will discuss those in the next module. A thesis statement is also unnecessary.<span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In a paragraph of 150-200 words, explain why you selected the specific organizational structure and how it best caters to the purpose and audience of the presentation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><b><strong>Upload your presentation outline and explanation as a PDF file in the submission area below.</strong></b></p>
