2. General Tips/ Prepartion
Find a Topic
Clarify your speaking goal
Develop your thesis
Have claims but make sure to have evidence to back it up
Make sure to interact with your audience during presentation.
Receive feedback from presentation.

3. Delivery
Will your talk be delivered extemporaneously, as a manuscript, memorized or without preparation?
How will you capture and maintain the attention and interest of your audience
Nervousness is both natural and normal. Once you expect and accept it, you will then be able to control and manage this apprehension
How will you adapt your talk to your audience during the presentation? How will you handle questions and answers.
For some, seeing is believing. How will you show your audience your main points? Will you use a computer-generated presentation like Power Point?
The key to a successful appearance is to dress in such as way that no one notices what you are wearing.

4. Structure/ Slide Design
A well organized speech typically includes three clear parts: a beginning, a middle and an end.
Be creative. In the introduction to your speech, gain your listeners' attention and then focus their attention on your central idea by making a clear statement of your thesis and a preview of your main ideas. The introduction is also a time to develop rapport with your audience and establish your credibility.
As you conclude the speech, provide a summary that recaps the main ideas of your speech. Then, end in a dramatic fashion to give your conclusion a sense of finality.
Visual aids provide support for your talk. Visuals can organize the entire presentation, providing a visual roadmap for the audience, and/or illustrate a point that you are trying to make. In some cases, a picture is worth 1,000 words.
