**Audience & Purpose:** This presentation is for you to deliver to a class. Every slide should be immediately clear and teachable—visuals should do the heavy lifting so you can explain confidently without memorizing dense text. **Content Requirements:** Start with clear, accessible definitions: - Define rapport and empathy separately using real-life examples (workplace scenarios, conversations, relationships—things your class will recognize immediately) - Explain how empathy builds rapport and why that matters in writing - Show the connection between empathetic writing and stronger relationships/communication ** Write all explanatory text in plain, conversational language—the kind you'd use talking to a friend. Avoid academic jargon. If you need to use a technical term, define it simply on the slide. Your class should understand every point without you having to translate it. **Design Standards:** Keep the presentation neat, minimal, and professional. Use consistent fonts, plenty of white space, and a simple color palette. Each slide should feel uncluttered—one main idea per slide, visually clean. **Slide Structure:** - Include a title slide with the topic name - Build logically from definition → examples → application - End with a takeaway or summary slide - Aim for 10-11 slides total
