Have it be in a basement, have a good topic, chill enviornment and cool people. make sure you have fake charactors too like on conan when they talk to the coked out werewolf... but better than that I cant think of a good example. nahmenyaherd?

trust me on this as i have been there and done it. i got a presenters job on a dodgy childrens program. the only way to get what you want is by videoing your self doing what ever type of presenting you want to do and send it off to loads of tv stations. its the only way you can do it.

watch tv without subtitles, chat online with real english people (and dont use chat language) chatting is teh best cause you are talking and writing in one

The number one thing to remember is this:\npeople like to talk about themselves and they like to know you are paying attention and really listening to them.\nDon't just go up and say to a perfect stranger, "What did you do this summer?" because that is too vague. Find something that you obviously have in common with that person (a class, a club, etc.) and start your conversation with a comment about the common topic. Then, use your Listening Skills and pick up clues about the person's other interests that you can ask them about.\n\nKeep in mind that it takes practice for most people to become effective listeners. Watch somebody you know that talks a lot - you can watch their facial expressions and tell that they are thinking up the next thing they are going to say as soon as you take a breath and they are not really listening to what you are saying.\n\nSo long from Gadsden!

What is your topic?\n\nTry making a word scramble with words from your theme. Have the kids work in groups of 3 or 4 to unscramble the words. The first team to finish (or first 2 teams) wins candy. \nCandy motivates any high school student.\n\nPlay basketball. Have the kids go up (1 kid from each row) and ask a question from your presentation. The first kid to write the correct answer on the board gets to take a shot. You can get a hoop from the dollar store, or use a wad of paper and the trash can. If they make the basket they get an extra point (or 2 points) for their team. The winning row gets candy. Tell them up front that there is a prize. They will be motivated.\n\nI also play the flyswatter game. Put a bunch of random answers on the board (or if you need to prepare ahead a large piece of paper that you tack to the board). Divide the class in 2. One from each team goes to the board. Ask a question. The first team to hit the answer gets the point. You have to keep it moving fast. State the rules; NO HITTING each other! Downside; you have to give candy to half the class lol!\n\nI have more, but those are what I think is best. If you don't like them I can try to think of something else.

Simply relate to them.  Don't act like a know-it-all adult because they'll shut you out quick.  If a teen says something R-rated, don't act like they did something wrong, or like you can't talk to them about a topic like that.  Apparently they know enough for it to come out of their mouth, so talk to them in a mature way about the topic.  Bring up MY SPACE.  All the kids are into that.  Tell them you want to see they're page, and then comment on it.

You've got to stop reading the newspapers, toss out your Tv and radio. Those are media that can be trusted about as well as Yahoo Answers.\nIf you want some carrier guidance, talk to your high school counselor.\n\nOr, am I just dumb and you made this up for a chat subject?

Just enough for acting!!!!  Ask them to bring their craziest, fanciest clothes (and for the girls, tons of makeup) and act out the snobbiest people you know.  You'll have great fun setting up the dressing room as well (try using bedsheets as curtains in a corner of your room or whatever).  One person can be the director, one the photographer, one the makeup artist, the rest can be actors.\nGood luck!!!!!

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: learning is REALLY HARD.  It's hard for everyone.  When you're curious about something -- like social relationships when you're a teenager -- then it's easy.  But if you just need to learn something because it's your responsibility to know it, it's exhausting.\n\nMy hint is to find at least one subject that you're interested in or one teacher who you actually like and try to orient around those if you can.\n\nThings that schools don't teach you but that would probably be interesting:\n\n* How to make videos and video games (write the script, figure out how it all goes together, do the artwork and sound, and find those one or two geeky people around who can program if you aren't that person).\n\n* History, 10-20 years ago (i.e. the 80's-90's).  Your parents lived it so they don't give you an unbiased view, and the curriculum stops decades before.\n\n* Popular fiction (thrillers, romances, etc.) and song lyrics

Depends on the school. Where I teach we usually tell bad jokes and talk about tv programs, sports and sometimes politics. Some teachers talk about students, others talk about their family or the chores they have to complete at home over the weekend.\n\nIt is nice to have adult time when you spend most of your day around crazy kids.

I have...sort of the same problem. Mine is kid of reversed because I talk too much. Of course the conversation only lasts 3 minutes because they get so annoyed of my constant chatter that they walk away. Figures, right? Anyway, talk about current events. The events you talk about depend on your age. If you're a teen, start with, "Omg, did you hear about the latest Brit/Kev breakup?" That should open up doors of celebrity scandals and gossip. Or if you are an older person, try "You know, the gas is....blah blah....economy....blah and so on". I don't really know much in the adult field so yeah.

Wow, that's great.  You can find monologues ready to go at Barnes and Nobles.  They have a theater section and books of teen monologues.  Another suggestion, think of a funny story that happened to you and just tell that. Natural is best and what is more natural than retelling a life experience.  \n\nBreak a leg - I hope you get it!  I'll be watching for you on the Disney Channel!

just be yourself. get doors for them, offer to carry there stuff, and just talk about anything they want to talk about. and if they dont talk then you find something (not stupid, but something she would like) to talk about.

Watch movies (funny ones are best!), have loadsa snacks, have music, instant message together, if you have a trampoline or a pool or something like that- go on/in that, chat about stuff and don't be afraid to tell your mates anything (not really personal stuff though) unless they're really immature- because then they will do the same and it just makes the chat so much more interesting and you really get to know people when you share stuff! \nWhen I have sleepovers we litrally talk non stop until about five in the morning! Your not a little kid anymore so it's not as if you need arranged activities to do but have something like that on hand just incase your mates want to do that.\nAt my last sleepover with my best mates we ended up drawing on tshirts with fabric pens and we are going to wear them to all our danceing competitions! Another sleepover I had a while back we made faces on pizzas! The next sleepover I have we're hoping to make a video to put on youtube of us just messing about really, but it depends if we find the time because we TALK SO MUCH! lol!\n\nSo yeah, Hope I gave you some Ideas

If ur audience are students, then try \n1. Sleeplearning. \n2. the population implosion in Europe - they're losing people. \n\nOr something you know a lot about, perhaps a hobby or an interest. This will work best cause you don't have to research much. :)

Start with a movie.  Then you will have some conversation built in during dinner.\n\nBest question, tell me about you.

Peer pressure is a good topic. There is also drugs, escpecially marijuana, which is a common problem among teens. Also try teens and reading and teens and video games. Rap music videos and tv and movies.
