How well did you do and what did you achieve through your project What did you learn? How might this project help you in your future

4. Think about it

5. Know your audience

6. Timing

7. Resources Any resources that you use for your presentation should be relevant and have a point to them. They should also be easy to read and complement what you are saying and help you engage with the audience. If you are using a PowerPoint or Prezi resource you need to ensure that the contents are formatted in such as way that they are clear to read but do not have the whole contents of your script on them. Slides or resources should have some key points that sum up the points you are making. If you plan on using PowerPoint ensure that you are going to have access to a computer and projector. If you plan on using a web based presentation system like Prezi or if you plan on using links to websites – ensure you have internet access – what will you do if this fails? If you are planning on showing a video clip you have presented make sure it works on the system you are going to use before hand. If you are using resources you can consider how they can further engage the audience with your presentation e.g. do you want to keep their attention or ask for their own feedback based on something you have displayed.
