Group Presentation Tips

1. Everyone agrees �The group must all understand the presentation �Each person must understand everybody’s “part” ◦ In case somebody gets nervous ◦ In case somebody makes a mistake

Everyone helps to prepare �Do not let “the smart kid” do all the work �Use your strength to help the group ◦ Visual aides ◦ Organizing ◦ Judging

2. OUTLINE! �Group presentations are just like individual presentations ◦ ◦ ◦ Hook Thesis Roadmap Points Good ending (don’t say “that’s all”)

3. Transitions �More important for group presentations important ◦ “Now Mark will speak about… �Always know who is speaking next ◦ Silent pause makes you look unprepared

4. Look normal when other people are talking �Always be prepared to speak if somebody forgets what they are saying

5. The order/sequence of speakers �Do NOT do this order: ◦ Speaker 1→S 2→S 3→END �Mix your order ◦ EXAMPLE: S 1→S 2→S 1→S 3→S 2→S 3→S 1→S 3→S 2 �Less information to remember! �Shows you are a team!

8. Time of each speaker �Every speaker should speak about the same amount of time ◦ 6 minute presentation ◦ 3 speakers ◦ 2 minutes/speaker

9. PRACTICE YOUR SPEECH �Do your speech as a group BEFORE you do it in class �Where? ◦ In an empty classroom

10. Visual Aides �Visual aides are very suitable for group speeches ◦ Visual aides are not art ◦ K. I. S. �Keep it simple!

Your Task: �Rank which person should survive ◦ 6 th is the worst choice ◦ 1 st is the best choice �Present why your #1 choice is better than choice #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6 �Presentation must be 3 -5 minutes
