It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.- Mark Twain

We were talking the other day about public speaking and oral presentations in English and the class cam up with some really interesting and valid ideas about what works well and doesn’t work at all.

Anyhow here are a couple of things that might be useful for those of you making an oral presentation. The first, from America, is a rubric which is something used to mark students and in this case is it for making students doing an oral presentation. This is not the same as what will be used a Hoppers but it’s still a good checklist to work with and see how your presentation might measure up.

The second resource is from an Engish university and covers some really good tips about delivering a good presentation. It’s not very long but it seems really useful.
