Presentation Strategies

Presentation

Tips

  • Format
    • What form will your presentation take? Prezi, PowerPoint, Google Slides, a skit, a song?
    • Slides should be visual! Choose images, colors, and fonts carefully. (Cite all images and videos!)
    • Follow the rule of 7 (aim for 7 words or less on each slide).
    • Know of all your material without reading it from the presentation slides.
  • Flow
    • Avoid repetition!
    • Practice together as a group.
    • Speak slowly and clearly.
  • Interactivity
    • Engage your audience.
    • Make eye contact with your audience.
    • Design a survey, quiz, Q&A, or something to solicit responses from your peers.
  • Timing
    • 15 mins to present, 5 for questions.
    • Practice makes perfect.

The goal is to be engaging and informative. Watch Shark Tank and TED Talks for inspiration.
