Once again, I need to do a demonstration, not present just anything. I have to physically and verbally teach the class something. So ranting/reading will not work.

 

Hmm, 5-8 minutes? Bring a blow up doll and some lube and .... I guarentee no one else will be doing that.

 

what about teaching the class to be a ninja or breakdancing?

demonstrait your skill at making up a project off the top of your head.

but its always good to do something that no one else will know so no one will know if u screw up..


i wouldnt cook anything..

what do u like to do?

 

Word!

 

Teach them the quadratic formula.

Provide examples.

 

I can do some magic tricks, none real interesting. Other then that I sit in the garage and turn wrenches in between school and work. I'd like to teach how to do an oil change, but I don't know how I could do it. I guess I better pick out the best origami animal. :-(.

 

The best topics to demonstrate are the ones you are passionate about. This will make your presentation more lively, since you will be into it more and conveying your passion for it. For instance, why not talk about racing on a track? That can easily crack the 5-8 mark with little or no preparation, and simple props. Hell, perhaps you can take the class to the parking lot and demonstrate how to drift.

 

Talk about the war or politics.

 

This is a good idea - bring a board with a course drawn on it and explain how to take curves and how a fwd car handles and drives a line differently then a rwd car. Use matchbox cars.

 

The best presentations are when the speaker has some passion about the subject and the audience comes away with something new. I remember being in a similar class and the presentor taught everyone how to whistle. She started with some simple charts explaining the actual mechanics of a whistle, explained different kinds of whistles (no fingers in mouth, two fingers in mouth) and used the last 3 minutes or so to actually teach everyone how to do it. About half actually figured it out but everyone was talking about that presentation for the rest of the semester.
