Speak to us, don't read to us.
Move around, use gestures. Can only do this with some practice - go in your room alone and practice.
Use cue cards, not 8x11 paper.
Craft your speech to be 5 minutes long—4:30 min - 6 minutes max - one of the universities pet peeves is students can't keep to the expected confines when writing or speaking.
Eye contact - use the 3-4 zones of the classroom.
Try to use tone, pace and pause to your advantage.
Look like you are enjoying it. Don't bring us down, bro.
Take time to understand what you are saying - don't use words you don't know, be sure you are pronouncing them properly. It should not sound like its the first time you are seeing and reading it.
Practice reading aloud to avoid the "likes," "ahs," and "you knows."
Don't reread the essay. Present the findings to us and explain how it enhances our understanding of the play. Sleep zone—population 24 of us.
Use a lead
Introduce yourself
Give us the title and author
What is the thesis?
How does the author support it (from Hamlet)
Insights into the story? New understandings? Interesting takes? In depth analysis?
Do you agree with the author's claim, did they prove it?
Apply a critical approach to it.
Transition to the conclusion
Have a logical conclusion that sums up the presentation
Definite end (so we can give you a pity clap)
