These notes offer different ways into preparing and delivering a presentation. One looks at how handouts can explain unfamiliar terms and provide background. Others cover impromptu speeches, openings and closings, and what to do with your hands while presenting.
For a starting point, read the notes on preparing and delivering a presentation. Their discussion of handouts offers a practical place to begin. Then look at the notes on speech habits for reminders about pace, energy and fidgeting. For debate, Note IV (Flowing) focuses on keeping track of arguments.
Revise with notes
After reading, set the note aside and say its main points aloud. Return to check what you missed, then try applying a point to a short presentation. If you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page; a quiz can help you check your recall. Choose a note and try the approach with a topic you are practising.
