Our group wants our report to be alive and not boring. What are the possible ways to make our report exciting for our classmates?

If you could include current examples from real life setting that would be interesting and down-to-earth. Besides, that would be very thought-provoking. Learning has more meaning when there is a correlation between books and the real world.

use visual aids, no the correct timing for doing so as not to destruct attention, you can use presentation tools like powerpoint if you have the available tools, think of some ice breaker like exercise or activity (dance if possible) to awake sleepy heads and lighten the moods of the listener.

present the facts with fun. too lengthy reports are utterly boring unless you do something that would catch your classmates' attention. there are many ways of making your report creative; you could show images or videos related to your report, say an unusual, catchy line that gives an overview of what you will be reporting, you could have a skit before the report or present your report as a skit itself, etc. broaden you minds :)
an effective way of making your classmates listen to what you have to say is challenging them to answer questions related to the discussion and giving a prize to whoever gets the right answer for every question. also show that you're interested with what you're reporting. merely reading what you have to share would make them uninterested with your discussion. more importantly, make sure that you know your report very well. best of luck. i hope your report goes well :)

hi...here are some tips on how to make your report a very interesting discussion in yur class...
first, you have to understand very well your report... understand not only mean you know what you are talking about but you know every detail and little points of it...make a research if possible...be sure you are prepared every possible question that anyone might ask...and make your voice as clear and loud as possible...
second, it will be better if you have pictures, written texts on board or any writing material that can be seen by the whole class, visual aids or anything alike
lastly, you got o have an 'ice breaker', have something that your classmates can participate with...examples are, open questions at the end of report...games that has something to do with your report at the middle of your discussion and give rewards for the winner to make it more interesting...or simple make an adlib in between discussion to make your class stay awake
