A great presenter understands his/her audience and knows how to use body language and voice effectively in order to deliver a competent and charismatic presentation In school you are expected to communicate information through reports and presentations, a presentation carries the speaker's personality and allows immediate interaction between the presenter and the audience. A good presentation has the following elements: Content - It contains the necessary information. But unlike a report, which is read at the reader's own pace, a presentation must account for how much information the audience can absorb in one sitting. Structure - It has a logical beginning, middle, and end. It must be sequenced and paced so that the audience can understand it. Where a report can have appendices and footnotes to guide the reader, the presenter must be careful not to loose the audience when wandering from the main point of the presentation. Packaging - It must be well prepared. A report can be reread and portions skipped over, but with a presentation, the audience is at the mercy of a presenter Human Element - A good presentation will be remembered much more than a good report because it has a person attached to it.
