Your presentation is on car alarms. Describe one way to reinforce key ideas verbally, then two ways to reinforce ideas nonverbally.

What will be an ideal response?


(Student examples will vary.) To reinforce verbally, use words to let the audience know what is important. "The most important thing to consider in purchasing a car alarm is..." Do not overuse this: every idea cannot be the most important. To reinforce the ideas nonverbally, use gestures, pauses, and movement to indicate transitions to important or different points in the speech.
