Alright so here's whats up NS. I have to do an english presentation for roughly 25 minutes. i have to be able to keep the class interested in my topic. what topic should i choose? i've thought about skiing and how i could get the class involved but i wasn't sure about it and i think there could be a better topic.

so my question is anyone have suggestions of what i could do that would have the whole classes attention for 25 minutes with a small activity?

i have little to no creativity really so i thought i would ask NS

Thanks!

wouldnt skiing be pretty easy? watch transitions, take notes, there is your presentation on the history of freesking. as you talk, show edits from the beginning of freeskiing to where it is today.

If you wanna go hard core bring in some carpet and set up a little box, ahah thats if your really dedicated... But come on man ever one will be interested in skiing, just do it right bring in all your ski shit along with some retro stuff, and play some ballin edits, email a company and they will send you so much free swag if you tell em its for a project, I did one on under armour back when i was in high school and they sent me a bunch of shit (i know under armour is gay... it was my partners idea...) And man there is nothing like doing a project on something you love! and free shit will keep your class interested! Oh and make some "brownies" to get everyone in a jibbing mentality..

thanks for the ideas everyone

as for the go skiing part time might be a problem and someone else in my class might be doing skiing so that might be a problem as well

anyone else have any ideas other than skiing??

thanks

Just do it on whatever, but at the beginning say that somewhere in your presentation you will lie, and whoever finds that lie gets 50 dollars. That should keep them paying attention, then at the end tell them that the lie is that there is no 50 dollars and give all of them the finger and promptly walk away.

Actually a Harvard study proved that 72% of an audience (100 people) said they were paying attention during speeches that mentioned sex, death, or drugs every 10 minutes...

Do it on just sports in general. Even dumb kids like sports.
