Genghis,
Thanks for giving Slasher a polite answer...
I would have given a much nastier reply to such a rude post addressed to a serious 16-year old, who's already found his way here.
I envy him... at his age I didn't get that kind of assignments. Just drew aircraft designs in the margins of my Latin note books....
Quinten,
I would agree with earlier posts... don't overload with 'facts', just develop the basics.
Theory : why flaps and slats? how do they work aerodynamically?
Practice : briefly go from the simplest flaps to the most complex.
Include a mention of extremes such as the blown flaps on the F-104, or on various STOL aicraft.
Then elaborate on the A320 family slats/flaps, and maybe compare with the B737 (where indeed during the landing just about the whole wing droops down one way or another, leaving just about only the wing spar in place
).
Engineering : all the way from the simplest hinged flaps to the complex actuators, screw jacks and flap tracks/rails needed to make the basic idea of, for instance, a split or Fowler flap, work in real life.
Maintenance and troubleshooting : Unless your mentor insists on this, try to keep this short, because flaps/slats are not really all that different, in that respect, from most other aircraft systems, whether mechanical, electrical or hydraulic.
Quinten, you'll have to do your own research. But I think you'll find there are a few oldies here that are perfectly willing to help out when you get stuck.

PS : Don't worry about your English, you're doing fine.
