As presentations become an ever-increasing assessment tool and the collaborative skills necessary for positive group presentations reflect powerful communication strategies, the one-time "soft-skills" necessary for successful presentations become ever-more vital to students of all ages. This workshop focuses on how to share some fundamental features of delivering presentations to students in an easy, playful and highly interactive way. Participants consider how to frame presentations as a story-telling exercise for a more performative approach, creating engaging "hooks" that best-suite the topic and the presenters, practical applications of sign-posting and connecting language that students can easily apply that guides the listeners through the story, and an easily-modeled "elevator pitch" exercise for creating concise descriptions. Group-work is empowered through an engaging cuing system so students can offer immediate support and feedback in-the-moment, so that presentation skills are accelerated, and rapport is strengthened within a group.
