How casual (or professional) are you planning on making your presentation? So far mine is looking like it will be extremely casual so I'd be interested to hear what other people are doing...
Mine is pretty casual too. I am summarizing two theories but hopefully that is the shortest part of my presentation. I don't really understand a lot of them either. I'm showing a 'friends' clip about the difference in gender communication and we're playing charades among a bunch of other stuff...I feel like I'm lacking in actual content, but hopefully that is just my own insecurity and not reality. :)
Mine's pretty casual too. Even though I've covered a lot of articles it certainly didn't turn me into an 'expert" but it does give me springboards to try to generate discussions. I too, was going to present charades but after thinking about other parts of my presentation they seemed to pull me in a different direction, *with only two days to go!* Nothing like changing the game plan with the timer running down. Remember, Mirah said to have fun with it, and 30 minutes is alot of time to have fun! (just kidding . . .)
I am being a little more professional. I do presentations for my job, so this feels like an off shoot of that somewhat. I have a power point, but am including some tactile "fiddling" items for folks to hold and manipulate, and I have a few things for visual learners in the presentation. I also have a recording of a speaker explaining very succinctly the way she found NVC to be profoundly helpful in drawing people out on emotional issues.

I'm also going more casual. I think that the learners in the group will respond better.
