"My summer holidays."

Or be cute, and do "communication."

You have to talk about something that interests you, something you know about.

Boards, how popular it is etc.

token56 · 21-12-2011 07:27PM

What do you mean communications? Media communications, telecommunications, etc?

sgb · 21-12-2011 07:28PM

How to start an interesting thread on Boards.ie

MarkR · 21-12-2011 07:28PM

You could talk about your lack of preparation, and how it is affecting you?

hoorsmelt · 21-12-2011 07:28PM

Anal sexuality

TheMilkyPirate · 21-12-2011 07:28PM

Just do something your interested in, And something you'd feel comfortable talking about for 20 minutes straight.

Dotrel · 21-12-2011 07:29PM

I think you need to talk about Kevin.

44leto · 21-12-2011 07:29PM

Christmas an endless subject.

Twenty minutes of excuses for why you didn't get your presentation done.

Wait...

"Our news", anyone in junior infants should be able to provide a few pointers.

How communication has influenced the world in 2011

Examples
Twitters use in the London Riots
Social Networking during the Revolutions of Libya and Egypt

Was in the same situation a few weeks ago, it's really best to pick a subject you're really into and know alot about.

That way you can do out your slides pretty quickly and get practising.

20 mins is long all the same, don't envy you!

Turtwig · 21-12-2011 07:36PM

To be the total dweeb, how long have you been given this assignment? Preparing a presentation the night before is never recommended, unless it's a company emergency. So my recommendation would be to talk about the advantages of planning, time management and procrastination.

Your love of humming different notes.

Pin_Cushion · 21-12-2011 07:38PM

Bring a DVD you've watched or a book you've read. Spend 2-3 minutes talking about what it is and how it came about. Then summarise the plot/contents for a little while. Pass the hard copy of the DVD/book around while you summarise it. Then prompt the class to ask any questions if they have any.

mattjack · 21-12-2011 07:40PM

your problem with the "thing", ya know when that happens to you..

colly_06 · 21-12-2011 07:41PM

Give a presentation about giving presentations. Then be like yo dawg I heard you like presentations so I'm giving you a presentation about presentations so you can listen about presentations while listening to a presentation.

What is your audience like? does it have to be a serious topic? or can it be something that could be fun and you could get a few laughs out of it?

If you can give the listener something to think about or amused by, then you'll probably stop them from dozing off..

Especially the "Yo Dawg" part.

Just speak slowly, and mumble-don't forget to mumble. Also laugh now and again for no reason-it'll keep them on their toes.

Old Perry · 21-12-2011 07:48PM

you could do a presentation about google, loads of information and documentaries out there about it or them?......start with the history of google , how its revolutionized the internet and search engines, discuss the google formula or secret. and conclude that its been successfull in making a whole generation or 2 of us lazy bastards

What will I talk about?
