Select the Presentation Team
Identify students with a genuine interest and ability to prepare and present (avoid the drive team if possible).
These presenters will have needed to work with the team who wrote the essay.
We generally identify 4-6 presenters.
![Page 14: Chairman’s Award: Preparation Team 135. Team Identity Team culture Try to make everything fit the brand Otherwise, what’s the point? Students, coaches,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ad07f8b9ab059971503/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Determine What to Include
Identify 8-10 key topics directly from the essay for presenting. Rank these topics in a few different ways
Most important Biggest impact Most unique Newest to oldest
Use these rankings to determine which topics to use in the presentation.
*We recommend 5-6 “top” topics to have the best impact*

Create the Presentation Draft
Create a bulleted list of points for each topic. Create sentences and paragraphs for each topic. Create an introduction and conclusion (1-2 sentences each)
![Page 16: Chairman’s Award: Preparation Team 135. Team Identity Team culture Try to make everything fit the brand Otherwise, what’s the point? Students, coaches,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ad07f8b9ab059971503/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Read the Presentation
Practice reading the presentation out loud. Time the presentation (determine if cuts need to be made or
items can be added). Make adjustments to the content. Have different presenters read different sections. Decide the best mix of 3 students and identify a back-up
presenter.

Practice, Practice, Practice
Assign specific topics to the 3 presenters. Practice individually and “own” those topics. Memorize the material. Practice together and coordinate cues. Get the timing down below the minimum.

Practice More!
Practice with the props. Practice in front of your team. Practice in an empty room. Practice for your Principal. Practice for a group of three “judges”. Practice answering questions and determine who will answer
what topics.
