At least two days before the presentation, the finished product should be reviewed. Check all the details against your guide. See that all these details are in the right places. Have everyone in your team take a good look or test on the project and see if any improvement can be done, assuming everything is in place. Ask a professional in the subject to give you his or her comments.
If you are presenting a skit, dance or song, check the classroom space which you will use as stage. If it has to be arranged in a particular way or some decorations or props have to be placed, ask permission from the teacher using it at that time. Or from the principal after all classes are finished.
If you are preparing a research paper for submission in two days, your drafts must all be in final form and only the final typing should be done. Prepare a one-page abstract and put this right after the title page or cover. Use a computer for the finest and easiest way of finalizing. As much as possible, type the work yourself and not entrust it to a paid typist. There can be errors and misses.
Your handicraft is virtually finished. Test it by actual use. Move every part and see if there is any looseness or tightness. Then make the necessary adjustments or repairs. Show it to your teacher for her last instructions or comments.

Composing the project
Since your group members have their respective responsibilities and contributions to the project, they should also compose or structure those contributions and submit them to the group leader. The group leader, in turn, puts all these together to construct the whole. It is the duty of each member to check and recheck that he or she will compose and submit his or her composition or portion as assigned. The leader shall then check in detail if all the contributions submitted are complete as assigned. But it is not left
entirely to the group leader from there.
The entire group must now meet for a longer time to evaluate the structured project together. If it is a skit, they rehearse without the costumes till perfection. If a research paper, short report or an interview, the group should now produce drafts.
The debaters should also rehearse, at the initiative of the presentor. If you are the presentor, assume that the affirmative side is the first one to argue its point. The dancer, singer and orator should also practise their numbers at least thrice before the date of actual exhibition.
If you are presenting a video show, check on the machine’s efficiency and the clarity of the film and re-run just before the presentation date to be sure. Be ready with a script guide on the contents of the film.
Since you have been showing your project to your teacher at every stage, you are sure that you are going along fine. Problems and errors are prevented. You can give your teacher a trial cooking demo before your actual presentation.

Educational Level
You can better estimate your listeners’ knowledge of and interest in a topic from their educational level than from their age or gender. The more educated your audience, the more you can assume they know about general topics and current affairs, and the broader their range of interests is apt to be. Research suggests that better-educated audiences are more interested in social, consumer, political, and environmental issues. They are more curious, and they enjoy learning about new ideas, new things, and new places. If your speech presents a fresh perspective on a problem, they should be avid listeners. Finally, better-educated audiences tend to be more open-minded. They are more accepting of social and technological changes and more supportive of women’s rights and alternative lifestyles than less educated listeners. Educational differences can also affect the strategies you use in a speech. For example, if there are several positions on an issue, you should assume that a better-educated audience will be aware of them. Therefore, you should be especially careful to acknowledge alternative viewpoints and explain why you have selected your position.33 Although you should always speak from responsible knowledge, knowing that your listeners are highly educated places even more pressure on you to be well prepared. A well-educated audience will require that you supply evidence and examples that can stand up under close scrutiny. If you are not well prepared, such listeners will question your credibility.
