ABSTRACT
Classrooms are full of the type of student who raises his hand and can provide insightful, meaningful responses when taking part in discussion, but as soon as the people ask that same student to write down his thoughts, they are lucky to get a one- or two-word written response. Oral presentations can take several forms, but they typically consist of an informative speech designed to educate an audience. A successful oral presentation needs to be set up just like an essay would, with a topic sentence, supporting details, and several drafts before the final presentation. Baking a cake or cookies involves math, especially fractions. There are certain elements that make up a good oral presentation. Set up a schedule for when students will present, giving them an allotted time. Tell students which day they are presenting on so they can make arrangements to bring in their supplies and materials.
