Presentation Contest
4-H presenters teach their audience “How To” do something or about something. Your presentation may be on “How To” bake a cake, patch a bicycle tire, groom a horse, make an electric lamp, plant a garden, etc. Your presentation could be on lighthouses, Dalmatians, fishing lures, James River, bees, etc... (Note: Live animals may not be used.)
Every presentation has three parts – the introduction, body, and summary. In the introduction, tell who you are, what your topic is, and how and why you chose your topic. In the body, tell and demonstrate how to do something. In the summary, review the main points of your presentation and ask if there are any questions. While posters have been the traditional visual aid- PowerPoint, slides, tapes, transparencies, and any other means may be used. Remember these items are to assist the presentation and should not be read as notecards. All work must be completed by the 4-H member.
The presentation should be appropriate for the age and experience level of the 4-H’er and sufficient in length (time) to cover the topic. The time range will be: Cloverbud & Juniors 2 – 5 minutes, Intermediates 5 – 10 minutes, and Seniors 10 – 15 minutes.
