►Work on presentation skills, like intro, body, conclusion ►Discuss politically correct statements – Don't speak poorly of your neighbors. Lebanon discussed Palestine in a negative way during the presentation. ►Share R.O.C.K. = Respect, Openness, Communication, & Kindness during presentations ►Time Management – present within time period. ►Teach them to work in Teams, appeal to the emotions, & add the personal touch – like personal stories
