A demonstration is the easiest to organize because you can simply go through the steps in order. The audience must know what is being done, how it’s being done, and why it’s being done. Arrange your points in a logical order and then give information to support each point. Examples of ways to organize points are to number them (1, 2, 3....); put them in a time frame (past, present, future); use narration (tell a story from beginning to end); or present them as a problem-effect-solution (state a problem, describe its effect, then suggest ways to solve the problem).

  introduction. Avoid falseor multiple endings. End with a catchy phrase and leave the audience with a good impression. . Last, you need to ask for questions. Be sure that you repeat each question before you givean answer. Not only does this ensure everyone hears the question, but it gives you the chance to make sure you understood the question. If you get a question you can’t answer, simply say you don’t know. Never make up an answer or bluff. If possible, provide a resource where the answer could be found. It isn’t practical to offer to look it up and get back to the person. REFERENCES . After your conclusion, you need to state your sources of information.

When there are no more questions, a simple “thank you” to finish is enough. Don’t thank the judge for listening or various people for giving you help Making the presentation Before: • Make a backup set of overheads in case your PowerPoint doesn’t work. Most of your lecturers do this! • Organise your technical requirements well before the presentation. This will allow you time to find the missing cords etc. • Check you have everything you need, e.g. a board marker, enough handouts. • If possible set the room up as you wish. Ask people to move if the room is unbalanced (e.g. everyone is huddled down the back). Make sure everyone can see you and your presentation. During: • If you are nervous, set up a prop, e.g., a large picture, map, or other item. Most eyes will be on this, not on you. If your hands are shaking, place them on an object like the podium to steady them. • Try not to move around too much but equally don’t stand stock-still like a statue. • Introduce yourself and outline your topic, • Try moving between formal delivery of important points and a more anecdotal style for examples/illustrations of a point. Ask questions to get them thinking. • Respect your audience; expect their respect in return. If people are chatting or not concentrating, stop and wait until you have their attention. • If you are using visual resources such as PowerPoint slides make sure you are not obstructing the audience’s view of them. Concluding: • Have a clear, practised conclusion or summary so that the audience knows what you have told them. • Ask for questions. If you do not understand the question ask them to rephrase it. If you do not know the answer say so. • Don’t rush back to your seat; stay standing and thank everyone calmly.
