PUBLIC Speaking!!??

Don’t worry about your next presentation in front of the class – be prepared and be confident!

Here are some great tips to help you prepare:

- Do your homework so you know the material well.

- Practice many times, especially with a real audience at home.

- TALK to the group, don’t read.

- Pretend you are telling just one person, like a friend or your mother.

- Speak up so you don’t get interrupted by the teacher.

- Always make a few notes to remind yourself, even if you memorize the talk. Parents can help you on making the notes so they really help.

- Keep your chin up – this helps you look confident and helps people hear you.
