These steps will help you prepare.
1. Form a group for the presentation (e.g. the people coming frm your country). This will mean contacting them before the seminar. You can use the Chat room for this if you want - it is available 24 hours a day.
2. Decide which aspects of your country and of epilepsy you are going to present.
3. Begin with
everyone in your group getting some background knowledge of the different aspects of epilepsy and the cultural aspects of their countries.
4. Divide into roles where every group member becomes an expert on one part of the topic.
5. Collect or create the visual materials you are going to present.
These will make it easier to keep to the topic and remind you what you are going to say. The visual materials can be on power point, as overheads, a poster (or several) If you want you can sing, dance ... anything (well almost) is allowed.
6. Talk to a lot of people before
the presentation.
Not only is this a good opportunity for you to tell people about your work, but it is also
a good opportunity for you to get new ideas that might improve your work. If people
seem interested in what you are doing, discuss it with them.
7.
Think ahead of time about some of the questions people might ask you. This is
especially important if you are presenting a small part of a larger topic.
8.
Be well-prepared
and ask someone to give advice about the script.
9. Include a
good introduction and a solid, thoughtful conclusion.
How to design a poster or a graphic for your presentation.
A
good poster or graphic can say a thousand words!
1. Design a
poster with reference to the aspect you have chosen and present
it in front of the group. (In this case, you might focus on one
or two points concerning epilepsy and seizure.)
2. It
all starts with an idea. Pick one or two things you want readers to learn. Be
creative!
3. Use simple and clear Graphics. Make sure the content is clear and easy to understand.
4. Headings
help readers find key sections. They should be big enough---
at least two inches tall. Use less than 30 words.
5. Use
a light color background
and dark letters for
contrast.
Avoid dark background with light letters and overly bright
colors--- It's very tiring to read.
6. Leave
some open space in the design.
