Begin by analyzing your audience and select your topic with the account of the audience’s interests. Plan the order of presentation and the use of visuals. Your discussion should address the following elements:

• How will you introduce your subject so that you grab the audience’s attention?
• What will be your main points?
• What type of supporting information will most impress your audience?
• What life examples would you provide to connect to the audience’s experiences and interests?
• What should you say in the closing?
• How will you encourage questions at the end of your presentation?
• What would be the best type of visual aids to maintain the audience’s attention?

Distribute the creation of PPT slides and presentation roles among the team members.
