Tips:
- Write a question or a statement as your title so you have something to argue for or against.
- Don't use PowerPoints as this often leads to the presenter reading off the slides.
- Avoid using a script. Use flashcards with brief bullet point notes to ensure you make eye contact with your audience.
- Conduct as much research about your topic as possible. Remember, the purpose of the presentation is to demonstrate your research on a certain topic.
- Explore a variety of research sources, for example search the web; reading newspapers / magazines / reference books / leaflets; listening to television programmes and asking relevant people.
- Read your speech in the mirror. This might sound embarrassing, but it does help you understand the important of effective delivery.
- Record yourself at home and watch back, looking for successes and targets.
