## Ready when they can

- Choose a chart or image because it makes a specific claim clearer, and say so when presenting
- Place a short clip or audio at the exact point in a talk where it strengthens the argument
- Cut a flashy visual that does not support the message (e.g. dropping an animation that distracts from the data)

## Lesson: Multimedia that supports your point

You have chosen media to clarify main ideas. Now link each image, chart or clip to a specific point. Ask what it actually shows. A photo can show appearance; a measured total needs measurement records. To compare totals, choose a chart with both labelled counts. Media can clarify a point or support it with evidence, but it does not establish claims beyond what it shows.

*(drawing: Invented rainfall totals: June 4 inches, July 3 inches, August 1 inch. They decrease across these three months.)*

**Example.** Priya gives a presentation about cafeteria food waste. Her team's weighing log records 28 pounds in one week. She shows the log when stating that total. A photo shows the waste's appearance, but cannot establish its weight. To explain sorting, she introduces the step, plays a short clip showing it, then explains the connection. Place media near the point it supports and tell listeners what to notice.

Remove an image or effect that has no useful connection to your point. More media does not automatically make a talk clearer. If an unrelated animation competes with a useful chart, remove the animation. Make the chart large enough to read, including its title, labels and units. Listeners need to see the information you discuss.

*(drawing: Explain what listeners should notice and how it connects to your point.)*

Say the specific pattern the media supports. If recorded totals or rates rise, name that rise and the period shown. Do not claim that the pattern continues outside those records. A rise alone does not identify its cause. A chart of books borrowed cannot tell you whether every pupil enjoyed reading them. Keep your spoken claim within the evidence.

**Recap.** Choose media that clarifies or supports a specific point. Explain the link, keep claims within the evidence, and remove distracting effects.
