examples to aid comprehension.

and make them more compelling.

encouraging participation.
Step 6: Rehearse and Revise
◦ Practice delivering your presentation script to familiarize yourself with the content and improve your
delivery.
◦ Revise and edit your script as needed, removing any unnecessary information or repetitions.
Step 7: Seek feedback

feedback on your script and make adjustments accordingly.
