Project Presentation Tips

Try to remember these rules when you are speaking before the group. Underline the ones you need to improve.

  1. Speak in complete sentences.
  2. Use any new vocabulary words you may have learned, but be sure you can pronounce them and that you know what they mean.
  3. Speak with a clear voice so that everyone can hear.
  4. Look at your audience and speak to its members.
  5. Stand aside when you are pointing out pictures, maps, charts, drawings, or diagrams.
  6. Do not read long passages from your notes.
  7. Know your material so that you sound like an informed person.
  8. Be as calm as possible. Try to show that you have confidence in your work.
  9. Do not chew gum when presenting.
  10. Be ready to tell where you got your information.
  11. Explain what your visual display shows, but don't read everything that is on it to your audience. Let the audience read it later.
  12. Ask for questions from the class.
  13. Be willing to admit that you don't know an answer if you really don't know.
  14. Never make up an answer. You are expected to give only accurate information.
  15. When your project is due to be presented, have it ready in final form and on time! Do not come to class with empty hands and a list of excuses.
