Top 5 School Presentation Ideas

By Matthew Davis


Presentationsâ€"the word itself strikes terror into the heart of students everywhere. Nevertheless presentations make an undeniable fact for nearly every student, no matter what age or educational level. From the 1st Kindergarten Show and Tell, through school and beyond, everybody has to face the dreaded oral assignment at one time or another, and sometimes frequently.

The reality is the hardest part is coming up with an engaging subject to speak about. About.com is a great resource for any student who is struggling to come up with some worthy presentation ideas . The free website offers a huge number of presentation ideas for school assignments.

Here is just a sample of five possible topics to get you going on your next project.

1. Sports- Demonstrate the correct use of specific equipment. Share what you learn all about the history of a particular sports occassion, or explain complicated rules in a simple way for people who don't follow the game.

2. Science- Re-create an interesting science experiment for your audience. Be sure to practice each step beforehand so you know exactly how the experiment will turn out.

3. Religion- Explain the history of a certain belief system. Don't judge. Simply present the facts behind whatever worldview you decide to explore.

4. Popular Controversy- Research a debatable issue like homeschooling, current immigration laws or the medicinal uses of marijuana. Conscientiously research the topic and pick a position you are feeling comfortable arguing for or against.

5. A Demonstration- Think outside of the box. Are you able to show other scholars the right way to do something they won't typically even think about? For instance, teach other scholars the best techniques to economize using coupons, or demonstrate a set of simple magical tricks.

There are many important things you can do to make certain your presentation goes well. First, pick a subject that you are fanatical about. Presenting information about a subject that you've got an interest in is way easier than talking about something that bores you to tears. If you have no choice because your teacher has given certain subjects, try to think up an engaging angle that makes it exciting to you.

Secondly, remember that the most compelling presentations are visually engaging. Carefully consider what you can do to grab the attention of your audience with visual articles. As an example, getting dressed up in a costume, carrying props or showing an important piece of art will make your presentation much more interesting. If you use charts and graphs, make sure they're large enough to be seen by everybody in your audience. Use eye-catching colors and readable fonts to make them much more visually appealing.

Finally, speak clearly with boldness and confidence. You're the expert on your presentation, and probably nobody in your audience knows as much about your topic as you do. Spend plenty of time practicing your presentation so you can share what you learned in a concise and clear demeanour.
