2. Before starting your presentation there are a
few things you will want to do.
Think about your main idea and what you
want to talk about.
Do research on your main idea.
Make an outline.
3. Write a first draft, write what you want to say
without stopping.
Create a more detailed second draft with
opener, body, and closer sections.
Come up with a 15 word summary so you
have a small set of words to describe your
main idea.
4. While making your presentation there are a few
things you will want to keep in mind.
Be consistent- Keep a basic outline without
being monotone.
Don’t over do special effect.
10-20-30 Rule- 10 slides, 20 minute
presentation, no less then 30 point font.
Don’t write full sentences. Write
segments, you can go in more detail while
giving your presentation.
5. Keep eye contact and don’t read your slides.-
Make sure you look at the audience and not
your presentation. Keep eye contact with
them and make sure you are not reading
word for word. Your visual aid is just suppose
to be an outline for the audience to follow
along.
Keep it interesting. – Add a few short stories
to keep the audience attention.
Slow down.- Don’t speak to fast, keep calm.
6. Leave time for a Q&A. You don’t want people
to leave not understanding something. Make
sure you are able to answer everyone's
questions.
