http://www.hackbook.biz/2014/01/22-ways-to-make-good-powerpoint-presentation.html

http://www.slideshare.net/Razorleaf/paul-gimbel-presentation-opening-quotes

Plan the presentation by writing notes cards.

 Put in some fun facts interactive questions and activities on the cards to share with the class. In addition, write down keywords or main ideas to let us know what are we going to talk to the class. 

Practice. 

 Work on what and how we going to say. It will feel more confident when we do the real thing so that can eliminate the unnecessary grammar mistakes.

Ask. 

Ask feedback from family or friends of your preformances. 

Eye contact.

 It is very important when we presenting. Without eye contact, people will feel bored and would not want to listen to the presentation. 

Research.

 Research things that we going to share in the class. Get quotes from reliable sources will make a good presentation. Make sure sources are trustworthy.

Smile.

 Always put on a smile whenever we are presenting. It will influence the audience to continue listen to what are you presenting.

Be confident.

 If there is lack of confidence, we will be hard to deliver our words well and sometimes will be stuck in the middle of the presentation. Must be confident and try not to be too nervous whenever we are presenting. Always believe in ourselves that we can do it.

Use media

 ( pictures and video ) . Bring in some pictures or some interesting thing to share with the class so that they will stay focus in what we are presenting. As not all the audience can catch up with the words we say. We can make them be more attentive and catch up in what we are talking.

Conclusion.

 It is the final expression on the audience. Ending with a question is a good way of getting the audience to think about the presentation in an interesting way. 

Avoid covering up slides.

 Try to use our own words to speak to the class when we presenting. So that to prevent no eye contact with them continuously.
