 Presentation strategies

• 5 p's.
• Planning.
• Preparation .
• Practice.
• Performance.
• Passion.
• Keep it simple.
• Organize your thoughts on the board.
• Use the board or your presentation for notes.

Strategies.

• Overarching word. Example: instead of dog, cat, cow, you can say animals.
  
• Use color, shape, characteristics. Example: If you don’t know the word for “apple,” you can say a round, red or green fruit.
  
• Using synonyms: Synonyms are words that mean the same or nearly the same thing as another word. Using synonyms can help avoid repetition and improve understanding. Example: Instead of using happy you can say joyful, pleased or content.
  
• Using Antonyms. If you do not know how to describe something, describe what it is not. Example: If you don’t know the word for "cold," you could say the opposite of hot.
  
• Provide examples. Example: If you’re explaining "transport," you can give examples like cars, buses, bicycles.
  
• Simplify definitions: Sometimes it's easier to just define the term in simple words. Example: For “innovation,” you can say a new idea or method.
  
• Using context. Giving the context in which a word is used can also help. Example: If you’re describing "bark," you can say the sound a dog makes.
  
• Useful strategies for exam!
