Have an upcoming project due? Want to do a presentation? Have a really awesome teacher who will help you out? Put together a really amazing presentation and present it to your class!

Step 1

Find an audience. Is it for a school assignment? Then it will probably for your classmates and teacher. Not for a school assignment? Find a teacher (probably a social studies, history, politics, etc. teacher) that will let you spend some time in class telling students about what’s going on in Darfur.

Step 2

Find facts. What do you want to tell them about? One of the best things for you to include are facts that will shock and surprise them – it will definitely make them listen and remember your presentation for a long time. Some info to include:

• Why it started
• Who is fighting
• What has been done to try and solve the problem
• Where Darfur is
• How many people have been affected
• Where Darfuri refugees go
• Anything else that surprised you

Step 3

Put together an awesome presentation. Find photos and put them on a large poster, and include a good amount (but not too much!) text. You want to give students information that they will want to read. 5 pages of 10-point Times New Roman text won’t grab anyone’s attention. Put shocking facts in big, bold letters, like this. Do a lot of talking too. You don’t have to write down everything that you want to say when you’re talking to the class.

Step 4

Give them something! Who doesn’t love giveaways? Okay, so maybe it will just be a piece of paper, but hey, anything to get the message across! Give them a list of great resources to check out for more information. List organizations that they can donate to, or websites that have campaigns to end the genocide. Tell them about Do Something and direct them to our website.

Step 5

Do it again. See if other classes will let you come in and give your short presentation. If your teachers teaches a couple of classes, see if you can come in during those classes and present to a new group of students.

Step 6

Leave your info out for others to see. See if you can leave your poster up in the classroom, in the library, or anywhere else where people can stop and check it out.
