I typically present on Afghanistan, and my experiences there. This ties into my writing, fiction and non-fiction.
Although able to tailor my presentation to any school's needs, my focus is typically on narrative structure - why some stories are satisfying while others are not, and the tips and tricks that writers can use to take a simple idea and create an enjoyable experience.
