As the other have said...keep it simple and interesting.

If you're lucky (or unlucky as the case may be!!), you might get one, or at the off chance two, who maybe intelligent enough to understand you straight out and will come up to you and ask more pertinent questions. Don't be afraid to answer them and don't hold back with your answers. It's kids like these, who are gifted and extremely bright, who need all the encouragement you can give them. The school system tends to try and dumb them down at an early age and rarely caters to their needs as they grow older. We end up loosing them at an early age and they usually just give up on school or they just plod through and do what they need to get done in order to pass their HSC's. The highest scorers in the HSC are not necessarily the brightest or even the most gifted academically. They're just good at acquiring and accessing information and have good memories.
