PRESENTATION SKILLSTeens As Teachers
As a TEEN TEACHERYou have to TALK
If you can express your thoughts and interests clearly
and logically to others, they will listen to you and even want to know more about
what you are teaching.
A major part of your SUCCESS as
Teens as Teachers depends on your
ABILITY TO SPEAK
PUBLIC SPEAKING STEPS• Develop your Self Confidence Don’t be fearful Kids can sense fear and when and if they do they go
to devour!
• Research Know as much as you can about your lesson It’s ok not to know everything; you are learning as
well
• Present your Lesson Don’t fidget with clothing Stand straight Don’t rock back and forth Look directly at your students Talk loudly and don’t rush through your speech
GESTURES & VOICE STEPS• A Good Speaking Voice: Is natural Is strong, even when not loud Is easily heard Does not sound emotionless Tone is pleasant and friendly
• Good Gestures: The most expression should be with the hands
and arms to illustrate your words Size, weight, shape, direction, location: All of
these call for hand gestures such as shaping of the hands or pointing “HE WENT THAT WAY”
WORD CHOICE STEPS• Eliminate these Words: Like Ummm Ahh You know what I’m saying
• Instead, Try these Words: Basically Actually Literally I think that You know What I’m trying to say is
I KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE HARD AT FIRST
BUT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
