Identify and explain the four ways in which presentation aids help communicate ideas to your listeners
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Focus—Presentation aids gain and maintain the attention of your listeners and keep their interest when words alone might not. Understand—Presentation aids can enhance understanding. Remember—It is well known that you remember most what you understand best. Organize—Listing your major ideas on a computer-generated slide, chart, or poster can help your audience grasp your main ideas and follow your transitions. Illustrate— Of your five senses, you learn more from sight than from all the others combined. Demonstrating or showing procedures or events step-by-step is an especially effective way to enhance understanding.
