Teach Presentation Skills

Don't use headers/bullets in presentations

Headers: Presentation tools should be used to show NOT tell. Show images, charts, diagrams. You might have a few words in a dialogue, thought bubble, or caption, but in general there should be little to no words on a slide. Words come from the presenters, not the slides.

Don't read the text!

Presenting ISN'T Reading

Look at your audience

Know what you are going to say

Watch/analyze great student presentations

Watch great presentations at TEDexYouth

Videotape students presenting, reflect on what could be done better.
