Tips from TAs:

• Objectives must focus on how the audience will be changed.  To say "today I'm going to talk to you about...." is NOT an objective.  To say "after my presentation you will know......." IS an objective.
• PAUSE for EFFECT!  Figure out where you want the adience to really pay attention, and insert the pause (3 full seconds) there.
• Restate must knows must not be categorical.  State SPECIFICALLY what you want the audience to remember.  Say "remember to always ask if a blind person would like your help, and what they would like you to do".  Saying "today I talked about what to do and not to do" is not a restate of must knows.
• End Powerfully!  Figure out and deliver a memorable ending.
