Preparation

Ensure you have done the prep exercise

Introduction

Everybody has to explain themselves and persuade others of their ideas. Giving a formal presentation is one way of doing that. You know the topic. You want the other people to understand it too.

When presenting, you should remember your message. Be careful that everything you do and say helps the audience understand.
