Include Multimedia Components in Presentations Practice Test

Keisha’s topic is a how-to presentation: “How to Write a Strong Thesis Statement.” Her purpose is to teach a step-by-step process. She speaks clearly and gives three steps, but her slides show only the step titles (no examples). She does not include any model thesis statements, and she doesn’t show how a weak thesis changes into a stronger one. Several classmates ask, “Can you show us what it looks like?”

Which visual display would BEST clarify Keisha’s steps for the audience?

Lina’s topic is the parts of a plant cell, and her purpose is to help classmates understand what each part does. She uses a poster at the front of the room with a hand-drawn cell, but many labels are written in tiny handwriting and are hard to read from the back. She also includes a slide with a list of organelles and their functions, but she doesn’t point to the poster while she explains. Lina adds a cute cartoon unicorn sticker in the corner of the poster (graphic) that has nothing to do with cells.

Which improvement would MOST help Lina’s visual display clarify the information?
