Here are some unique topics for English Majors:

1) Sex in Shakespeare: what was shakespeare really saying?

2) The significance of priests in James Joyce's writing

3) Judeo-Christian references in Beowulf

4) Sexual references in Oscar Wilde's "Portrait of Dorian Grey" (was wilde expressing his preferences in his work)

5) Feminism in "My Last Duchess": did the speaker kill his wife, or just her spirit

6) Chopin's use of herself in her novel "The Awakening": is Edna really Chopin

Presentation tips:

1) Dress for success: look presentable, somewhat business-like

2) Know your topic: meaning understand the material you are presenting, If you don't get it, your audience wont either

3) Don't fidgit, don't play with a pencil, paper-clip, paper, podium...nervous movements takes attention away from the presentation

4) speak loud and clear...you want the people in the back rows to hear you and clear and audible speech is a sign of confidence

5) Don't use slang..use proper english, it shows that you are professional and know how to act in such a setting

6) Keep eye contact with the entire audience. Don't focus on one point, look around the room. That helped me when I gave presentations

7) If you have power-point, make sure your power-point is clear and concise.

8) Make an outline for your audience, so they can follow and keep notes.
