How to Present in Class

Smile with those present. When it’s time to give a presentation, your smile will help you get people’s attention. Have fun because you’re about to teach the class something they don’t already know.

• Research proves that smiles are contagious ^[1] ; That is, when you smile, it will be difficult for others not to smile. So, if you want your presentation to go well, you should laugh, whether you like it or not. That smile will make everyone laugh and it will make you smile for real.

Be confident in your presentation. When presenting in front of the class, the teacher will let you play their role for a short period of time. Your job is to make sure people understand what you’re saying. Pay attention to how your teachers perform before your presentation because they are seasoned presenters.

• Visualize success before, during, and after your presentation. Although you should be humble, not arrogant, always imagine the success of the presentation. Don’t let the thought of failure invade your thinking.
• Your confidence is just as important as the information you convey. You try not to give false information or do a lot of research, but the part where you get high marks and other classmates want to have is confidence. Plus, if you’re confident, you’ll be more comfortable exchanging ideas with the whole class.
• If you want to boost your confidence, visualize the big picture. After 10 or 15 minutes, you’ll have finished your presentation. What impact will the presentation have? Probably not much. Do your best, but if you’re nervous, remember that there are many other important moments in life.

Look at the audience. There’s nothing more boring than having to listen to a presenter looking at the floor or pieces of paper. Relax. The audience here is the friends you usually talk to; Talk to them like you normally would.

• Make it a goal to see everyone in the class at least once. This way, everyone will feel included in your presentation. Plus, it’ll sound like you know what you’re talking about.

Remember to create emphasis in your voice. The goal is to engage the listener and not make them drowsy. Bring your topic to life. Talk like it’s the most interesting topic in the world. Your classmates will be very grateful for your sharing.

• The emphasis here is the same as the way broadcasters usually express themselves in their voices; The voice goes up when talking about something interesting. You don’t speak as if you’ve just met a lion, but neither do you sound like you’ve met a squirrel. Raise your voice to make your presentation less boring.

Use your hands to gesture. Move your hands when speaking, use your hands to emphasize points that need attention and make the listener feel interesting. In addition, it also alleviates the nervousness that you are experiencing.

Convincing conclusion. You’ve probably heard a presentation that had a bad ending. However, the ending will leave an impression on listeners, including teachers. Make the conclusion more interesting by including a final metric or creative content. The conclusion should be presented in such a way that the audience knows you have completed the presentation.

• Tell a story, maybe your own. Stories make history and English presentations more interesting. Or you can conclude with an anecdote about some great man.
• Ask provoking questions. Concluding with questions is a great way to get your audience interested to think about your presentation. If you come up with another good conclusion, try it in your presentation.
