Researching it Your own experience Listening and talking to others Books, Journal articles, Newspaper cuttings, internet, television programmes… Group the information Be choosy: decide on relevancy Decide on a rough introduction, main argument and conclusion

Shape and Structure Introduction Main theme Summary/ Conclusions Get audience attention. Let your own interest shine through. Main theme Facts should be in logical order. Make sure there is sequence Summary/ Conclusions Re-state your main points. Make it ‘punchy’ and interesting

Preparation of slides One major concept per slide Few words per slide Try to limit levels and points Limit slides Have back ups Colours and font sizes use of graphics.

Practice Check room, time and equipment Awareness of self, voice, body language and confidence Rehearse!!!!!!! Organise visual aids, notes and handouts Prepare for audience questions
