Who am I?
Brief introduction
Let's Get on our Feet
Depending on size of group, lead a warm-up activity. Most likely will be the name/tap a should game.
What have we done thus far?
Why?
This is an opportunity to not only model the importance of review, but to get them thinking about the essentials of good presentations (i.e. introduce yourself, warm up the crowd)
Invest in these "non-content" aspects of your presentation.
Invest in these "non-content" aspects of your presentation.
What do you want to get out of the next 90 minutes?
make sure everyone has a note card so they can write their response. Ask for a few volunteers to share and write them down for all to see.
What are we going to do today?
- Universal Truths
- 3 Parts of a presentation
- Work Time
Acknowledge that there are many aspects of giving a good presentation and that we will not be able to hit them all today.
#1 Universal Truths
(Le'ts get vulnerable)
Explain that we're going to take the next 10-12 minutes to talk about things that we can all do throughout our presentations to make them better.
First, ask everyone to take another note card and write down one thing they do terribly when presenting. They will share this with their neighbor. Then ask for a few brave souls to share with the group.
We're all at different stages of our own proficiency.

Watch the Clock
- Too much content
- You didn't practice
- You don't have a clock
- No time to frontload materials
- No escape plan
Ask for volunteers:
Who has fallen into one of these time traps?
Who has already developed a plan for addressing any of these things?
We never have complete control. Schools are not predictable.

Talk in 7 minute chunks
Ask for examples of things that people have added to their presentations to break up the lecture

Offer Information in 3's
This is a tough one. It requires that either: 1) we edit down our content and prioritize what is most important, or 2) we reorganize our content into digestible parts, using the rule of 3
YOU MUST DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT STUDENTS TO WALK AWAY WITH. SPECIFY!!!!

Ask: What goes here? Ask for responses.
The Middle

Talk about various presentation platforms (there's more out there than PowerPoint):
Haiku
Prezi
Graphio
Adobe Slate
Google slides
Animot
If not technology based, include some sort of visual:
posters
white board
flip chart paper
models

This allows for integration of your content. Retention.
