Also it is important to make sure that your team members understand the topic as well. Because until they did not understand the topic they cannot help you with the project. Hence teach the topic as you learn in a easy way to them as well. And make sure they understand the complete topic , there should not remain any doubt, confusion about the topic in your member's mind.
3. Planning
Planning is must when its comes to handling a group of people. You should plan everything about the content, pictures, presentation, etc. Also you should not keep the plan a secret that only you know but tell it to your group members. If you find it difficult to let you members know about the plan, if you think they will reveal the plan to different group you can tell a little part of your plan to different members.But it will be better if you let them know and make plan with other members so that you can discover new ideas and new ways to make your project best.
4. Distribute the work
A good captain is a person who knows how to distribute the work. When you become captain of a group the biggest thing that you have to face is to distribute work among the group members. A captain never do the whole work by himself but they only control and distribute the work. You should distribute the proper work to a suitable person. You cannot just handle over a work to a member who do not know how to do it. You should give them some homework that they can do in their free time to discover the topic.
No member at any condition should not realize that they are given a lot more work then the other person or they are not given any work and you are barricading them from the group.
If you think that the member cannot handle the work you can call him to get the stationary things or to handle the things that he can handle better in your project. You can also distribute the work of gathering things needed for the project equally among the members. The work of captain is to distribute right work to right member so the they can together make an outstanding project.
5. Presentation
Presentation is the the last but a very important part of making a project. You and your group members must be prepared for presentation.
