What is a 4-H Presentation? 

A presentation is a method used to communicate an idea by showing and/or telling.  These presentations can be in one of six categories.  See the complete description by clicking on the Presentation Day Manual below.

1. A Demonstration in which something will be made or built
2. An Illustrated Talk in which a topic is discussed using visual aides
3. An Impromptu or Extemporaneous Speech in which members have 30 minutes to prepare a presentation on a current events topic
4. A Prepared Speech in which a topic is discussed without visual aides
5. An Interpretive Reading in which the member will read and give their interpretation of a select book
6. Audio-Visual which the member produces a multimedia presentation.  Recommended for Intermediate or Senior levels.
