Discuss methods a speaker can use to assist his or her listeners by presenting the information
in the speech in a clear, organized manner.
What will be an ideal response?
First, the main points can be organized by using a familiar pattern, such as
chronological, spatial, or topical. Most audiences find these patterns familiar and easy to
understand. Second, the speaker can make use of previews, summaries, and signposts.
These help the listener understand through repetition and clearly point to the
relationships among the different parts of the speech. The use of previews and
summaries also helps simplify complex ideas.
