Cinco de Mayo, or maybe about Dia de los Muertos.  If it doesn't have to be on a theme related to the class, though, you could try doing it on something that really interests you, or that you know alot about.

does your school prohibit giving them a book reference about that topic straight up?  I know it is a touchy subject.\nI would say, just have a lecture about a subject touching the topic.  Then say if you want to learn more about it I would highly recommend this.  That way you aren't telling them to buy it.  And the people who are interested in it will buy it.

It depends on what class this is for.  It is always best to write about something that interests you or something that you would like to learn more about.  There are a million possible topics to choose from!

i am only a freshman, but maybe to help your class study you can play a memory game. You play it like this, \nthe first person says something from a category like cat\nthe next person has to say cat and then another word, like dog\nthe next person says cat, dog, ad another animal\netc.\netc.\nyou can choose any category that might be helpfull to study for the class.\n\ngood luck :)

It really depends on you. The best topic would be any topic that you are really interested in... something that you know about, and something that you think is important and that would be relevant for your audience.

You could talk about immigration or the war in Iraq or raising minimum wage...those are the boring ones.\n\nIf you want to do something off the wall, I always recommend that people talk about blowing up the moon.  I wrote a 10 minute speech on supporting the destruction of the moon.  There's a lot of evidence to support it, and it's entertaining to research and read.

what's the topic of your paper? whatever you do DONT start off the paper with "in this paper i am going to talk about..." use a quote, fact, funny statement, etc.

My college Public Speaking class did similar presentations. Here's a few that I remember:\n1.How to re-pot a potted plant.\n2.How to pack a bag for a trip to the beach.\n3.How to make beaded necklaces.\n4.How to make brownies.\n5.How to deal a hand of Texas Hold 'em\n6.How to get dressed in the morning. (Really...the kid came to class in a robe and his underwear and showed us step-by-step how to get dressed!)\n7.How to fold a paper airplane.\n\nThat's all I can remember right now, but there are a million things you could do! Pick something that you already know how to do and something that you are familiar and comfortable with. And something that you can have fun with!

I am a bit confused on what you are asking. But i will give an answer to my best ability. In preparing for a class discussion, first of course you need to pick a topic. A topic that you think will be interesting to the class as well as yourself because you have to talk about it. If you have a topic or an idea that is great. If not you might want to relate this discussion to what you are talking about in class if relevent. After getting the topic, do a bit a research on it; know pros and cons about it as well as any other addtional important facts and or information that can help you in having people think you know what you are talking about. LOL Be sure to practice starting the dicussion as well as the information you researched. \n  For the next day, dont worry and be confident in yourself. Good luck!!
