How to Make a Mini Presentation

Points to remember:

• It is important that your presentation is not too long (5 minutes or less).
• It must be clear, well-organised and easy to follow.
• Decide what is important to include in the presentation, make notes and an outline.
• Do not write a complete text.
• Notes and keywords will help you to remember what you want to say.
• Remember to speak to your audience, establish eye contact. Do not read from a text.
• Practise your presentation in advance.
• Make sure that you finish within the time allowed.
• You can use audio-visual aids, but don’t let them dominate the presentation.

Layout:

• Introduction: Introduce yourself and the title of your presentation and give a brief outline.
• Main Part: It is important to organise the information in sections so that it is easy to follow.
• Conclusion: Sum up. Give your opinion if relevant. Thank your audience for listening.
• Sources of information: Remember to give the sources of your information.
