Prepare for your audience

What does my audience already know about my subject, and how is my presentation going to expand that knowledge?

What audio and visual components appeal to my audience, and how will I use these in my presentation?

What connections can I make between my subject and my target audience to make my presentation relevant to their lives/learning?

HW-Research/brainstorm

Keeping in mind your discussion about audience and how to engage your audience:1. Conduct further research into your topic/question. What additional information should you find in order to make your information relevant?
