middle and end.
Beginning:
The beginning of a presentation is very important! This is when you have an opportunity to grab the audience's
attention and set the tone for your presentation.
Use an attention grabber. Some attention-grabbing techniques include asking a thought-provoking question, showing
the audience an intriguing picture, telling a story or use a real-life example related to your topic, sharing a shocking
statistic related to your topic, sharing a powerful quote, playing a short video
Introduce yourself and the topic you will be discussing
Outline what you will be talking about.

Body:
Discuss your main points in a logical order
It should be clear to your audience when you are moving

from one point to another
Use examples to support your points

Summarize the main points
Avoid providing new information at this point, but you can state
any additional questions that you think your research has led
you too
Conclusion: Use language that lets your audience know that your
presentation is coming to an end
Avoid ending with "that's it!" or apologizing for your

presentation
Thank the audience for listening and invite questions
