Compare examples, illustrations, and narratives. Provide a description (or example) of each to demonstrate your understanding.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- Examples illustrations, and narratives are specific instances that help you explain your ideas. They can be factual or imaginary, and they are often memorable for the audience.
- An example is a relatively brief specific instance.
* Pat is on the varsity team and has a 4.0 GPA
- An illustration is a longer and more detailed example.
* Pat has always been an athlete but at the same time has always maintained an outstanding academic record. She attends basketball practice three evenings every week and still finds time to complete all of her homework.
- A narrative is longer still and presented in the form of an anecdote or a brief story.
* One time, Pat was overwhelmed with her sport and academic commitments. She sought help from an advisor to help improve her ability to juggle both commitments. By the end of the year, she had mastered her prioritization skills and was able to complete all of her sport and academic responsibilities. She helped the team win the state championship and was able to earn straight As in all of her classes.
- Student examples will vary.

Jess is presenting a problem-solution speech where she has just noted the problem
NASA is facing with funding, and she is moving into an area discussing viable solutions. Which sentence(s) best fulfill the requirements of an effective transition for that speech? A) "Now that I've established the problem, I'll look at possible solutions." B) "Let's now look at possible solutions that will keep us going ‘where no man has gone before.'" C) "As I've just said, NASA needs approximately $60 million to continue the construction of the space station because we are so far behind schedule. NASA also is working with less money than ever before due to competition with other government agencies and programs. But we can find money in any number of places, and specifically through taxes, cuts in military funding, and from our partners in the project." D) "The point is simple—NASA is strapped for cash and the space station project is in jeopardy. This need not be the case. As I will suggest, there are three funding alternatives that will allow us to continue our quest in space."
