Marx's conflict thoery is a fun one.  Or Durkheim's on solidarity.  George Ritzer is a great source to start with.

The only way to pick a good subject is by knowing the audience the speech is meant for.\nIf you dont need to hold that speech and its just for theory then I would pick some urban myth and present the true facts, that works in most cases.

This website is quite helpful:-\n\nhttp://www.sciencebuddies.org/\n\n\nThis website contains a few sample projects and related theory at different levels.

I would suggest to not memorize words, but learn the subject, understand the topic. \n\nMake a list of key points you want to make and then elaborate it with what you know. If you are allowed, bring in note cards with the key points to get you started. \n\nWhen you understand what you are talking about, it will become easier for you to speak about. You can also give it your own twist by putting your own personality to the presentation.  \n\nGood Luck!

Make as many power point presentations as possible. \n\nAlso, use the board to write out things you want them to learn and remember. One teacher I used to evaluate used to put an outline of the day's lesson on the board and followed it closely. That way the students knew what the points she was going to cover were, and they were able to see where they were in the lesson by looking at the outline. This technique was also valuable to absent students because other students in the class had notes in the order they were given and discussed.\n\nIn my own teaching, I used to agree very much with Ted Sizer and his theory of student as worker. My students were required to give 6-7 oral presentations in groups of 3-5 by blind draw. In giving the presentations, they were required to create visuals and to use them as they presented. They were taught to organize and use their visuals in such a way as to eliminate the use of notes. Each group was given a set of questions to respond to, all of which required research and extensive reading. This was a visual and oral activity for the most part and was very successful in that the students learned much and enjoyed the process as well. \n\nGood luck. I hope this helps.

make it flashy and include the above information from others.  If you make it long just with noises and cool effects, it will get the extra Presentation grade.  it worked for me

an oral presentation is basically you presenting a well researched material to an audience but just orally instead of it been written down . in the process you might use stuff like overhead projector, PowerPoint or videos/Cd's to support or give more information to the audience. Well that is my experience on it.

talk about global warming\nits a huge topic that will be more than enough to fill up 10 pgs\ntheres a lot to be researched too, so prepare for lots of work\nstuff like causes, preventions, consequences, proof\nresearch into Kyoto Accord, greenhouse gases, ocean currents, recent appearances of hurricanes (hurricanes build on warm air, and the temperature has been rising in the past few decades), car emissions, melting ice caps, change in migration of animals, stuff like that

Try Fumio Hayashi's "Fundamental Economtetrics".  Used it in ECON 560 - 'Advanced Economics' last term and really liked it.  You might also want to look into a collection of essays on economic thought called 'Second Thoughts' by Williamson (I forget the first name, but looking that title up at your local library should produce the book).

Essays allow you to go back and change something so you sound like you know what you're writing about. It's easier to get all of your thoughts and ideas down on a piece of paper and have time to sort them out. An oral presentation is only good for someone who doesn't mind public speaking. Even a well-prepared person can sound like a complete idiot during a presentation if he/she hates being in front of people.

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.

If you can choose the subject pick one that you have an avid interest in.  Plan the main points that you are going to cover, then expand on each of those.  Time your presentation carefully, but have a few extras up your sleeve just in case you run dry.  Try to think of questions that may be asked & have the answers ready.  Good Luck

you could do theology. I did my paper on argument between theology and teleology. depending on your level of understanding (i don't know what class you're in), you could discuss similarities and differences between paley's and ayala's argument. lemme know if you need more help. i'll post a few websites for you to research this topic in depth.

First, know your material!  The more you know what you are talking about, the easier it will be to get in front of a class and talk about it.  Second, make an outline of the material, instead of taking your speech up to talk.  If you take your entire speech, then you might start reading -- thats not so good in the oral report grade category, if you're just reading.  If you need to, make index cards with each point you want to make in the report, and add a few details that you want to talk about on each card.  Third, PRACTICE!  Give your report to family members or friends -- many will be more than happy to have you practice on them!  Have them give you suggestions, and tell them to listen for "ums" and "likes".  Listen to their advice, then practice the report again, keeping those suggestions in mind.\n\nAs for getting nervous -- relax!  You are definately not the only one in the class who will be nervous to talk.  I've never found that "imagining people in their underwear" works.  Take some deep breaths before you go up, and look for good friends in the class while you are talking.  If you make eye contact with these people (don't just pick one!!) then it will be less stressful.  Good Luck!!!\n\nOne addition: Its okay to make eye contact, and teachers do not always "look mean" when listening to oral reports.  I'm a teacher myself, and the kids who do make eye contact with me do BETTER than they would if they hadn't made eye contact.

call a major local college and ask them!\n\nColleges are the #1 spot for such speakers so they will ahev a idea!

Current debates in evolution: Science vs. Religion, with special attention to "Intelligent Design".\n\nor\n\n"Iraq - Blood for oil or Defending democracy?\n\nor\n\n"Do Civil Rights include the right to marry, if you are Gay or Lesbian?"\n\nAll three have powerful arguments for and against, and lots of web sites / magazine articles you could cite.\n\n"What I plan to do this summer" would be easy, if the teacher will allow it.\n\n20 pages is a couple of thousand words. You'd better get started!
