I've decided to give my speech on volcanoes. Now I just have to figure out how to make it fun enough so that they can be as excited about volcanoes as I am.

[bcboomerangs]

Bring up famous volcanoes. Or use LotR as a frame for it. Like y’all are starting out as Frodo and at the end congrats, you get to sail away to the magical place (leave).

IDK.

If you can:

Dress in colors that remind you of volcanoes
If there is a projector/ppt allowed, just have a video of a volcano erupting behind you
Music! Something dramatic to match your speech played softly in the background as you talk
I guess be a little animated/enthused! i know not everyone is a great orator or very keen on public speaking, but i can always tell when someone really cares about their subject and to me, that makes it all the more interesting. I want to know why this is so damn interesting to you.

Good luck! Have fun!

One thing that I've seen good presenters do is give people information in a way that they easily understand and can be impressed by.

Instead of only saying how hot or how big or how many active volcanoes there are, you can say 100 times hotter than (thing people already think is hot), as big as 50 (thing people already think is big), there are as many active volcanoes in the world as there are (thing there are a lot of). It keeps people more engaged having to picture those things instead of just reading off information at them.

Volcanoes are awesome though. Who doesn't love volcanoes?

See if you can get some ash and some volcanic rock, something tangible can help people connect with a subject.

I was always fascinated as hell by the time-capsule quality of the body molds from Pompeii/Herculaneum, starting with the preservative quality of the ash, then going back to the timeline of what the volcano did and how people responded to it. They make cool visuals for a Powerpoint, too, if you're doing that.

Who are you giving the speech to?

[(Anonymous)]

Talk about any volcanoes that have affected/could affect where you are. For example, in North America, you could talk about Mt. Rainier, Mt. Shasta, Mt Hood, etc., and also the Yellowstone supervolcano. Talk about the past effects of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Mazama.

Find out if there are any ancient volcanic rocks in your area and talk about the volcanoes that once existed there.
