Can you use electronics at all...or just not Powerpoint, because I'm sure other people will probably use music/video clips and pictures. People today need massive visual stimulation. \n\nMaybe use humorous "illustrations" of your points by using clips from popular songs, t.v. shows, and movies. Make sure that most people would get the reference. \n\nIf you can't use electronic stuff... I did I speech once about Hillary Clinton's life, where I pulled "random" people from the audience (ok, i admit i had told the first 2 people about it before the speech to help along volunteers) and told them they were going to statues of points in Hillary Clinton's life. I told them that I would do the positioning of their hands and stuff... not telling them or the audience what exact position or its relevance to my speech until I got finished. The first person I put in fetal position, the second I had like they were thowing a bridal bouquet over their shoulder, ... and so on. I had the statues stay there in a line, in position, while I proceeded to the next, so that my conclusion would be easy to do.. just point to the statues to demonstrate your points. You could utilize a similiar idea for "me outside the office" by posing people in the activities you do outside of work.

Reading books (some have little chips now)\nGreeting cards (some have little chips now)\nPin-hole camera (cameras with chips)\nClocks/watches\nWeight scales (digital)\n\nYou can surf the internet to get images which can be included in your slides.\n\nTo have a great presentation you need to address the following:\n\n1) Do not have too much information on a slide. You want a person to look at a slide and get a general idea so that when you expand on the idea using speech they are not distracted by reading lots of information from the slide at the same time.\n\n2) Make it interesting and keep it simple (one idea, one slide) - One-liner jokes are good but you have to be careful you dont offend anyone. Also, too many will kill it as you are not there in the capacity of a comedian.  \n\n3) Practice looking at everyone as you go through your presentation. Make them feel you are speaking to each one personally.\n\n4) Practice a few times in front of family or friends and ask for feedback. This will help you with your timing. You will not rush as you will be comfortable since you practiced.\n\nGood luck with your project.

You can't. You either need to bootleg it from a friend or maybe try openoffice, they have a powerpoint like application in that suite. It's not so bad.

Another option is to save your presentation as a .pps file.  This will save only the presentation show and not allow anyone to edit the program.\nGo to File --> Save As... -> and change the Save as Type to PowerPoint Show (.pps)

What about baking something and really making the presentation pretty with colorful cellophane paper (the one you wrap baskets with?).  Then tie it up with pretty colorful bows.  Attach a little colorful note that wishes them a good holiday and how much you appreciate their friendship.\n\nMaybe a little basket of popcorn balls, each a different color?\n(the ones where you add foodcoloring)\n\nOr maybe cute-looking gingerbread men?\n\nYes, this is time-consuming but it will save you money.\n\nBuy the presentation stuff (paper, ribbons) at dollar store type of places.\n\n\nOr instead, how about a nice candle for each friend (dollarstores have cool ones) and concentrate on the presentation by wrapping it with ribbons.  \nDon't wrap it, since its a small simple gift.  Just hand it to them and say "I got a little something for all my friends....Merry Christmas."

That sounds like a pretty broad range of subject.  I agree that you need to find something that interests you or you will  not be able to follow through with it completely.  If you are going to present this in front of a class, it might be nice to come up with something that has some kind of demonstration or audio/visual element to it because people generally have a very short attention span when you are just talking.\n\nIf you are just turning in a report, I would still try to incorporate some kind of graphics into the report.  For example, if you do something about the civil war you could include maps that would aid in your discussion.  Or, if you do something technology related you could include pictures of the item, and/or circuit or mechanical drawings, and maybe even graphs with data plotted.  BUT, whatever you include, be sure you can explain it. don't just throw in stuff that looks good if you can't back it up somehow.

One thing you want to do for sure is only use the slides for emphasis of main points. If you read from it or a piece of paper you will put people to sleep. Know your material and tell the story changing the cadence of your voice and looking at your audience. You have a most interesting topic - although it sounds rather broad. What is the relationship you are looking for between the topics you have mentioned? How are you going to hook them together. Find an anecdote if you can that makes the connection. Good luck.

Here is a cute idea I am not sure if you're interested:\n\nPart of your presentation start with "le tour de France" Which introduces the history, foods, about the people etc\n\nAnd then make up a little brochure type deal discussing the geography food could also go here, sites and other maybe interesting history also maybe throw in a few interesting words you like or sentences\n\nfinish up with the language and population etc
