These are the basic guidelines you have to follow for your presentation:

1.CONTENT AND ORGANIZATION: The topic must be clear and follow a logical order. You must use examples to prove your points.

2.COMPREHENSION: Speak slowly and loudly enough. Your audience must understand what you say!

3.PREPARATION: The more you prepare the more confident you´ll feel.

4.INTERACTION WITH THE AUDIENCE. Remember you must sell your topic! Use your body language, try to capture the attention of the audience (ask them if they understand, try to make them participate with questions).
 
5. BE ENTHUSIASTIC!  The more excited you are about your topic the better your presentation will be. You must convince us!
