Tips for Making a Presentation

Here are some tips regards to presentation that I gathered in my Education courses:

• Do not show the solution to a question right away; let the students think
• Do not erase the board with examples; allow the students to refer back to it
• Be Clear with definitions; use examples!
• Make appropriate examples that relate the topics
• Make a list of what the students learned in the last lesson
• Bridge! make sure to grab the attention of the students
• Props keep things interesting; something concrete so that the students can visualize
• Handout worksheets
• Be respectful of the students' ideas
• Avoid confusing question
• Create questions that require critical thinking
• Have a title for the presentation and categorize your presentation into parts such as Def: and Ex:
• Write an agenda of the presentation on the board
• Be specific with the vocabulary
• Ask why?
• Slow down; let the student struggle and think for a few minutes
• Allow participation of the students
• Probing questions
• Respond positively
• Rephrase and simplify if the students struggle
