6. How to Do a Presentation in Class
1.Write note cards on
index cards.
Write main ideas on your index
cards. Don't write details, or be
stuck with the fate of looking
down, staring at your note cards
while reading. Put in some fun
facts interactive questions, and
other interactive activities on the
cards to share with the class.
Write down keywords or main
ideas. If you need to consult your
index cards, you're only going to
want to scan the index card for
information, not read every last
word.

7. 2. Practice.
In most presentations,
it is pretty obvious who
has practiced and who
hasn't. Work on what
you're going to say and
how you're going to say
it. You'll feel a lot more
confident when you do
the real thing and you'll
eliminate the "likes"
and "ums" unlike those
who try to "wing it."

8. 3. Do your research
In order to give an
engaging presentation,
you need to know what
you're talking about. You
don't have to become an
expert, or read every
book or website ever
written about your topic,
but you should be able to
answer any questions
your teacher or
classmates might give
you.

9. 4. Start your
presentation with a
positive thinking.
Don’t let your
presentation
starts with a fear.
Have a positive
vibe that your
report will go
through the way it
should be.

10. 5.Feel confident about your
presentation.
When you give your class a
presentation, your teacher is
essentially having you take
over their job for a little
while. It's your job to make
sure everyone understands
what you're trying to tell
them. Make sure you pay
attention to how your
teacher does this before
your presentation, because
teachers are expert
presenters.

11. 6. Make eye
contact.
Nothing is more
boring than
listening to a
presenter who
looks at the floor
or at note-cards.
Relax. Your
audience is made up
of your friends and
you talk to them all
the time; talk the
same way now.

12. 7. Be sure to
have inflection in
your voice.
Your goal is to engage
your audience, not put
them to sleep. Be
animated about your
topic. Talk about it as if
it was the most
interesting thing in the
world. Your classmates
will thank you for it.

13. 8. Use hand
motions.
Move your hands
along as you talk,
using them to
emphasize points and
keep the audience
interested. It will
also channel your
nervous energy into
a better place.

14. 9. Have a good
conclusion.
You've probably heard the
presentations that end in
something like "um... yeah,"
Your conclusion is your final
impression on your
audience, including your
teacher. Make it exciting
by introducing a final
statistic, or come up with
something creative to do at
the end. Your conclusion can
be anything so long as your
audience knows you're
finished.

15. 10. Just Stay
Confident
Know that you just
aced your report and
that you just did
something that many
people would never be
able to do. Don't be
disappointed if you
don't get applause.
Just stay confident.

16. More Helpful Tips
If you make a mistake, don't worry about it. If
you don't draw attention to it by correcting
yourself, no one will notice and if they do, they'll
quickly forget.
Remember: Make your voice loud- or in the
acting term, project your voice.
Be confident and when you're nearing to the end
of your presentation ask the audience if they
have any questions or comments. It will make you
look mature and let the class know that you
really care about the topic.
Remember that power point is a tool for your
audience, not your script. Your presentation
should include much more than you put on the
power point and your slides should not have too
much text on them.

17. Have good posture. Don't cross or fold your arms,
keep them open. Don't slouch and keep your back
straight.
Try not to argue with your audience. This detracts
from your presentation. Just tell them they have an
interesting point and that you'll check and get back
to them.
Don't forget to look at everyone, not just the floor.
Don't stare at anyone in particular but 'skim' the
class.
Try to get the right level of
formality in your speech, depending
on what it is for and who you are
presenting it to.
Make sure you look around the room,
not just in the middle of the room.

18. Move around! You don't have to stand in one spot
the entire time. Have fun with it! Using your body
to accentuate your voice can also add a more
natural feel to your presentation.
