This method should help any beginner on the road to becoming an effective presenter.
Prepare Before the Lecture
Before presenting the lecture, the presenter should choose several points of interest out of the source of the information. This source could be a book or experience that the lecturer may have. These several points are questions and answers that the presenter should cover to communicate the focus of the material, and the lecture should fit within the allotted time of the class or presentation time.
The presenter should mark these key points with a numbered post-it-note or any chosen method that will reference easily by the lecturer. According to Daria Przybyla, a freelance academic writer, this process is working with a lecture plan. This planning process should make it easier for the lecturer to move through the lecture without too much effort in finding the material in the book needed to present the point of study. By numbering the post-it-notes the presenter can sequence the way he or she would want to present the information.
Present a Summary of the Lecture Material
At the beginning of the lecture the presenter should introduce themselves and give a brief summary of the lecture they are about to present. An example of this would be welcoming the listeners and offering a name and brief history or experience of the presenter. The presenter should then say they will offer basic information about the material specified. The presenter should describe the subject as an increasingly popular method or product. Then the presenter should give a brief statistic of the material to support the topic. One way is to describe the source such as the book.
The presenter should hold up the book and give a visual of the cover by describing the title and the author for the material. Then the presenter should offer the content of the book as a guide on the subject the presenter will lecture about. If the presenter has copies for the audience, the presenter should mention that shortly the audience will receive their own copy of the book for reference during the lecture. The presenter should mention that the book is the audiences but to refer to the material as the lecture progresses and to follow along.
The presenter should then tell the audience to turn to the page that coincides with the first section of the lecture. As the lecture commences and the audience reads along, it creates a powerful message to the listeners. The presenter should then follow the same procedure until all of the sections that have post-it-notes are complete.The presenter should continue to ask the audience to follow along as the presentation concludes. This method will make certain that the lecture has the attention of the audience.

Ask for Questions at the Conclusion
The presenter should remember to account for time so the audience can ask questions. At the end of the lecture, the presenter should ask for questions and understanding of the covered material. When the questions have concluded, the presenter should suggest the audience read the entire book at their earliest convenience whereas the material is new in memory. This can cement the material to memory and help the audience member retain the information better.
This method of presenting a lecture is easy to follow as long as the presenter prepares before the lecture takes place. According to Barbara Gross Davis', "Tools for Teaching" a good way of preparation is lecturing on materials the presenter has become comfortable with. After following these key points and practicing the speech, the presenter can successfully present a great lecture with confidence.
