# Presentations

What are best practices for students to share their accomplishments through the presentation?

Presentations can take many forms for the community project. Here are some suggestions:

* Invite local media. The more support and awareness you can get from your local community, the greater the impact you will have in future projects.
* Consider a live stream video for parents or family members far away. Password protect the livestream for increased safety of students.
* Add a section to the school website for school stakeholders to view selected projects. 
* Hold an in house exhibition in a gym, cafeteria, or outdoor area and invite parents, community members, and students.
* Create a culminating video of highlights to share with families and community members.

### Public speaking strategies - What about stage fright?

* Review videos of public speeches both by adults and students. Practice observing best practices of public speaking using a [Harvard Project Zero Visible Thinking](https://pz.harvard.edu/thinking-routines) strategy such as '[See, Think, Wonder](https://pz.harvard.edu/resources/see-think-wonder)', or '[I Used to Think...Now I Think..](https://pz.harvard.edu/resources/i-used-to-think-now-i-think).'.
* Practice presentations in small groups using peer feedback.
* Practice 'low stakes' public speaking while using debatable questions. Pick a fun topic, and have students 'pop-up' and stand when they speak.
* Work with support teachers and counselors to adapt the presentation for students with different abilities.
