You can do an interview with the main character, you can just make a poster board or transprancies with various pictures, you can do a skit, you can still do the same material as the powerpoint, but do it on posterboards..

Stay on Top-ic\nHow would you like to prepare a presentation in half the time and with better results? Do you think this is possible?\n\nIt's all a question of getting organized, even for a one page paper, or a 10 minute presentation. There is a basic technique which works well for the preparation of many presentations, reports or articles:\n\nChoice of topic, brainstorming, research on the Internet and in libraries etc., sorting, table of contents with chapter headings; key words for the chapters; writing the chapters; conclusion; thinking of more interesting headings or a better title. \n\nThis principle is valid for the preparation of both, spoken and written presentations.\n\n1 The Topic\nFirst you need a topic. If the topic is not given, you can use a working topic at first and find a more attractive one later, e.g., working topic,  How One Can Use a Towel.\n\n2 Brainstorming and Research\nWrite down all ideas for the topic which come to your mind, without judging them. Have fun with it, be inventive, creative, even silly. E.g. for drying skin, body, ink; for making a sun roof; for cleaning the floor, the car, the sofa; for carrying laundry or other things in it; for playing a trick on the teacher; for making a jacket; for filtering water, etc. Research all possible sources, make notes.\n\n3 Sort\nSort out the ideas from your research notes and your brainstorming you want to consider, e.g. drying things; carrying things etc. You may not want "playing a trick on the teacher." You may want to limit your ideas to very few examples, if you want to write a brief report or article.\n\n4 Make a Table of Contents\nThe general order is:\nA Introduction, \nB Main chapters or main paragraphs,\nC Conclusions. \n\nNote down in key words the thoughts, ideas and facts you want to place in each section of the table of contents. This helps you to avoid unnecessary repetitions. Do not start to write the introduction or the chapters, before you have the table of contents.\n\nExample: I once saw a book with excellent material, but the writer had not made a table of contents before he started writing. The result was that he repeated the same thoughts in different words all over his book, which is boring to the reader. To repair the repetitions, when the book is done, is hard, hard work and sometimes impossible. It is much easier and better to do the table of contents and then start writing. When writing books, the table of contents may sometimes change in sequence while writing the chapters.\n\n5 Introduction\nE.g. ask a thought provoking question as introduction for a report: Is a towel merely good for drying the skin? Yet, do not give the real answer here, but later. Or give a funny answer. \n\nOr state a problem you have come across, e.g.: There are people having too many towels, these could serve others, who need them, in many ways. \n\nIn the introduction, you have to get the attention of your audience or readers! Be thought provoking, funny or original: Today, I wanted to tell you about my towel I wore on my head (everybody may wonder what this is all about).\n\n6 Main Chapters or Main Paragraphs, Headings\nChapter 1 - Towels in the House\nChapter 2 - Towels on the Beach\nChapter 3 - Towels on Boats\nChapter 4 - Towels in Space Crafts\netc. \nE.g. you want to cover the towel colors in Chapter 2, the quality of towels in Chapter 3, and the size of towels in Chapter 4, instead of a more tiring approach to cover all three thoughts in every chapter.\n\nRethink Topic\nIn the end, you may sometimes want to formulate the headings for these chapters or paragraphs with more variations. Instead of saying "Towels in....," "Towels on....," you may say, "Beach Towels," or, "Is there Space for Towels in Space Crafts?"\n\n7 Conclusions\nHere you summarize what you found and elaborate on it, or you state what you feel is further interesting, e.g. the space for towels in space crafts, if you have not

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."

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.

I would try to think up a fun fake product and work around that.  Something that you wish was real, like in the movie 'Envy' where they have a spray to make dog poo disappear.  Have fun with the project but don't lose sight of the requirements of your assignment.

I wish there was a book.  I've found the best way is to simply talk to other teachers.  Borrow their ideas and shape them into what will work for you and your class.  It seems like at most staff developments the best you can hope to come away with is a few good ideas.

I taught 5th grade a few yrs ago. I liked using their literature stories and have the students pick a character and write the story from a different perspective. You can also allow them to write about their hobby,how would someone describe you if they came into your room and didn't know you?What will you be involved in in high school? What is your goal for 30 yrs of age? Write about fav sportsman. Who is their hero? What is a hero? Feelings about America? I once did a story on a bag of marshmallows and they wrote from the marshmallows veiw. It was a good topic. You can use everyday objects and lay one on each desk. Recently I had my grandkids write a story about 3 items that I picked for them. The items had nothing in common but they wrote great stories. They also made a story plan by filling out a form with the characters,problem,2 paragraphs about how to solve the problem,how it was solved, and wraping up in the last paragragh. The next time I let them pick the items but it took them forever to get them. I think they were trying to think up a story while looking for the items. I was actually working with one grandson who was behind in reading due to ADHD( Delux!). He learned some from the new ideas I found for him and it was nice that the others of about the same age wrote with him.PBS.com is where I got some of my ideas(games,worksheets,books) to help him this summer so he got caught up. "Mrs.McGowen Lots About Reading" in the PBS site is a great source and has many ideas on all subjects. Best wishes! I miss teaching but have my hands full with grandkids!

Look on Ebay (they have everything), to get ideas and supplies. I did all my own and they came out super nice!

I'm not sure exactly what you need, but maybe you could try a children's story. Something with a moral to it. Use animals, flowers, or even stars in the sky for your characters instead of people. Good luck!

I think a great how to speech is to show how to make origami.  It can be a little confusing to explain but if you're up for the challenge and pick something not too difficult, I think the class will like that.  Another idea would be to make something they could eat but it wouldn't require baking or cooking. Some treat like trail mix would be cool.  Good luck!
