other. Students in the “audience” of each group
should evaluate the speaker’s performance
based on the Guidelines for Delivering an
Oral Presentation.
Conclude the activity with discussion
 As a speaker, did delivering a presentation
to a group make them nervous?
 Did they catch themselves acting out any
bad habits as they spoke?
 Other comments

GUIDELINES FOR DELIVERING AN ORAL PRESENTATION
Prior to and at least the day before the presentation:
1.
Review the content of each slide
2.
Commit the sequence of the slides to memory
3.
Practice difficult words and names
4.
Rehearse timing and slide advance schedule
5.
If audio or video files are included in the presentation, make sure they work by
testing them on the equipment with ample time to spare for troubleshooting.
6.
Depending on the location of the presentation, such as at a conference, it is not
always possible to pretest the equipment. To err on the safe side, it may be
prudent to bring your own equipment.
7.
Practice the presentation orally and video it if possible and review the video to
make adjustments to your presentation style.
8.
Plan your attire
9.
Get a good night’s sleep
During the Presentation
1.
Introduce yourself and state the purpose of your presentation
2.
Present an editorial about each slide at a moderate pace – not too slow or too
fast
