Do a power point presentation or use visuals.

Spelling aside....try making it into a game. Especially the first time, use a quick game to determine what people already know.

Game shows are the best way to go! Plus giving prizes are fun!

After seeing this person's post, I don't know if I would suggest THAT...

You could make it look like retelling of a story where you are the story teller.
Tell the chapter that taped under a few seats are pieces of paper. Those with the papers should come to the front of the room and read the highlighted sections when it is their turn.
That will get some people moving around. You can also make some props.
Also, have candy on hand and reward people for participation whenever they raise their hands.

Show a movie. Even if it has nothing to do with what you are talking about, people will be less likely to get bored.

Please NO! Powerpoint is maybe the most abused technology around today. I have weathered countless Powerpoint presentations over the years, and in only one or two did the Powerpoint actually add to rather than distract from the presentation. I have come to the conclusion that Powerpoint should only be used by those who really know what they're doing and can be creative with it. Otherwise, it's just flashing on a screen what the speaker is already saying.

Thank you!!! If I want to READ about the topic, I'll buy the book. If I want to be read to, I'll go to story hour at the library.

Yes, thank you. People think PowerPoint is some catch-all that will save a presentation, and it's not. There are a lot of situations where PowerPoint just doesn't work well.

Agree totally with all the PowerPoint hate. I think if my boss could have sex with PowerPoint, she would.
