If applicable, pull up your Weebly. Presentation files should be on the presentation tab. You can also refer to your website at any time during your presentation or during the question/answer period. Full screen the file you’ll be using first.

Presenting in the Room Set-up any materials for display – if there is a table in the room, place it where you want it. If needed, turn off any lights.

Begin your presentation with your attention grabber Don’t forget to use the presentation clicker instead of just touching the SmartBoard, and use the laser pointer to point things out on your slides instead of your fingers that may accidentally move the screen when you don’t want it to. Note: Time is kept by 1 Judge; he/she will hold up 4 fingers once you’ve reached the 6-minute mark, 2 fingers once you completed 8 minutes, and 1 finger when you have only 1 minute remaining Fingers, when you have 4-, 2, and 1 minute(s) remaining to your 8-10 time limit.
