I have to instruct a mock lesson for a medical assisting program. In order to get the job I need to knock their sox off. Perhaps a power point presentation on the the human body?
I will only have 20-25 min to present my lesson. Ive never taught a class and so this is my last of several interviews. I need to be very careful at what subject to pick for my lesson so any advice will help.

Plan as if you were in the audience --> I have had a lot of experience teaching, and I think people now are much more accustomed to multimedia (TV, interactive video games, short info bites) - so you want to jazz up your presentation a little bit, keeping in mind that the purpose is to inform your audience, not just to entertain them. --> Last time I applied for a job I did a 25 minute Powerpoint on something I liked to teach. I got good reviews on the presentation and got the job, so maybe my hints will help.
--> Be sure and make eye contact with your audience, that helps them focus. Pick a sympathetic face in your audience and talk to that person the majority of your talk. --> Do not read your Powerpoint to the audience - they can read and listen to you at the same time.
--> Always have large size (18 or larger) font on your powerpoint. The worst presentations I have seen were where the presenter took a 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper covered in their lecture notes in a size 12 font and the presenter puts that up as a Powerpoint slide. Don t put everything you are going to say on the Powerpoint - let the Powerpoint be a summary of what you are going to say.
Put a graphic (some can be animated) on almost every slide - the visual learners will remember the pictures where they might not remember all the narrative. --> Choose an interesting Powerpoint background, but not too busy. Most people have seen many Powerpoint presentations by now so a tasteful one may be the best way to communicate.
--> When you are teaching you may want to have a handout from your powerpoint. Don't hand it out ahead of time - your audience will read the handout instead of paying attention to you. --> Question and answer sessions are always a good way to end your presentation if you are well informed on the topic (if I don't know the answer I don't try to fake it.
I always tell my students I will find the answer and get back to them. ) --> Practice your presentation with friends - it wil lhelp you find out how long you're going to take, and let you iron out any glitches. --> hope this helps -- good luck with the presentation!

2 If you have never taught a class in Medical Assisting then my advice to you is to keep it simple. Maybe you can do a presentation on the "Day in the Life of a Medical Assistant" and review the clinical and administrative aspects of the job touching on some of the routine protocols. My guess is that you will be presenting to people who have more experience than you in the clinical realm, so, don't get in over your head where you may be telling them things they already know, or presenting on topics that aren't compelling enough to impress them.
If you are a new MA I think you will "blow their socks off" by presenting on "A day in the life" and how you can help facilitate a more efficient experience for the customer and what your role is in relation to the larger process of providing excellent care. Good luck. highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/007352087x/ .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
