A presentation is orally delivered information that often introduces, accompanies, or follows a document or visual aid, although some presentations are strictly verbal with no visual aids or accompanying documents. A presentation is different from any other type of workplace communication because it involves interaction between the speaker and the audience.
There are two main types of presentations: informal and formal.
Informal: Most work place presentations are informal. They can be spontaneous, improvised, or anything else that doesn't involve a great deal of preparation.
Formal: Generally longer and more complex than informal presentations. Formal presentations occur much less often and are given in set-aside areas to much larger audiences. Most formal presentations use visuals and other types of aids in the presentation.

I liked how you used a list to show steps to a presentation. Maybe next time you could include a better conclusion, using a video or a concluding paragraph. Other than that, your post was very helpful and well organized.
