First of all, visit this website  www.rubybridges.com\nfrom the info you find there, you should be able to come up with some interesting thoughts on the subject.. one interesting activity that I have seen done is to separate the group [class] into two groups.. one group made up of all students with blue eyes [or brown.. or green.. doesn't matter which]..the other group made of all the other students.  THEN, you proceed to announce that the students with blue eyes [or whatever colour you choose], are inferior in every way.  They are NOT allowed to sit in the front of the class.  Everyone ELSE gets to do activities, etc., first.. and that group with the blue eyes has to clean up after everyone else.  You make certain they understand that BECAUSE they have blue eyes, they are not as pretty.. not as smart.. not as talented.. and NOT as likely to succeed.. in anything at all..\nAfterward, ask ALL students how this made them feel?  How did it feel to be discriminated against for something completely out of their control.. something which has absolutely NOTHING to do with their intelligence or abilities in any way?.. then ask them if they want to switch to where all the BROWN eyed people are the lower class?  You might have them write a page about how the activity made them feel.. and how they see prejudice now that they have experienced it.  Good luck.

Make it Fun!!! Tell some jokes...show some movies...do ANYTHING that other (boring) teachers don't do. No matter what you do, though, always MAKE IT FUN.

Type up a mock day-schedule. Include things like Ice-breakers to learn student names, review what the students did over the summer, review what they learned last year...things of that nature. Make it colorful. If you want to go all out, make a colorful poster with everything on it.

Include fun facts or a cool activity to go with the lesson you are teaching. That would make me happy.

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.

THE SCHOOL BOARD IN (name of your school, city)\n                                 TAKE HONOUR IN INVITING\n                             MR/MRS/MS (name of the guest)\n\n           to preside the events we are organising to celebrate\n                                     CHILDREN'S DAY\n\n                                   on (date, time, place)\n\nRSVP\n\n- of course you have to make it look special by printing it on special paper, using different fonts and sizes and a festive format and colour.\ngood luck

Social Studies fair project is a big topic.  I am also not sure what grade you are in...so I am not sure if this is a good answer.  How about pick a topic (women's rights, discrimination, drugs, safety, world news, current events) and do a survey.  You can print up question sheets and have your friends, family, and classmates answer them.  For your fair, you can present your findings on a poster or something.

I'm a teacher, too, and I like some of these ideas.  I made cartoony looking fruit faces on my color printer with the kids' names and laminated them and put holes in the top with a string.  I then put a plate with real fruits on it on each table (mine were square-not that it matters) Some of the fruits were cut up.  As children came into the room, I put the fruit necklaces on them and told them they had to find their new "bowl" and not to touch.  Everyone who "played nice" and followed all the rules got to share in the fruity snacks!  Now,  we use the necklaces on cubbies and chairs and for play teams and the like.  Other things could work with this method, too, like sports balls, cartoon characters, stuffed critters, etc.  You just need a good clip art pack!

One thing you want to do for sure is only use the slides for emphasis of main points. If you read from it or a piece of paper you will put people to sleep. Know your material and tell the story changing the cadence of your voice and looking at your audience. You have a most interesting topic - although it sounds rather broad. What is the relationship you are looking for between the topics you have mentioned? How are you going to hook them together. Find an anecdote if you can that makes the connection. Good luck.

ideas: the immigration rallies, your favorite celeb, eulogy for a relationship (breakup speech, you could even do some couple in the news ie brad Pitt and Jennifer whatever), historical figure (Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman), you could write a eulogy for your creativity (tounge in cheek), or a toast to something minute like a paper clip, or hydrogen

Here is a cute idea I am not sure if you're interested:\n\nPart of your presentation start with "le tour de France" Which introduces the history, foods, about the people etc\n\nAnd then make up a little brochure type deal discussing the geography food could also go here, sites and other maybe interesting history also maybe throw in a few interesting words you like or sentences\n\nfinish up with the language and population etc

I would think about some of the kinds of challenges and games they do on the TV program Survivor, things that get groups working together.\n\nOne good activity is HOuse of Cards.  Divide into teams and each team has 15 minutes to build a house using only the materials supplied and resources available in the room.  EAch group gets 32 index cards, a stack of post it notes, a box of paper clips, tape and colored markers and can use whatever else is in the room that is useful.  When done the group chooses a spokesperson to describe the process they used.  Each team walks around the room to look at the other projects and to comment on the good points.  Use a flip chart to record the processes and commnents for later review.  Discuss the unique contributions people made to  the group.\n\nAnother good activity is Grab Bag.  Students work in teams to identify 10, (or 20 or as many as you want) unique and creative uses for the ordinary objects found in their grab bag, not including the intended use of the items.  The teams can race against each other to be the first to finish.  Groups of three or four work best for this activity.  Each team gets a bag with the same items - could be a pencil, a clothes hanger, a rubber band, a piece of string, anything you want.  Only one item at a time is pulled from the bag and the uses are listed for one item at a time.  Teams present their solutions to the class.\n\nThe Group Resume is also a good project.  The teams do a reusme combining all the skills of the group into one resume.  Record it on chart paper, including age, volunteer service, jobs they've done, clubs, sports activiities, special interests, special training, etc.  They present their resumes to the class.\n\nI have attached a couple of websites that offer a variety of suggestions.  I hope this helps.

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!
