Being well-prepared is the most important factor in communicating successfully. To prepare, a person can rehearse in several different ways. My favorite way is to rehearse in the car. I recently sang at a two funerals and I never had a free minute at home to rehearse. So I rehearsed in the car. My kids loved hearing me sing, so it was a good time to get in some practice time. My first day of school lecture is in writing. I reread my notes every year and make appropriate changes. I have a power point I show along with my speech. First impressions are very important, so I make sure that I am prepared to make the appropriate one!
Deductive reasoning has proven best for me, as the article indicates. I have seen a few teachers use the inductive method and the audience loses some trust when that happens. I definitely don't want to lose trust with my students.
Making a conclusion is important. I often skimp on this so I need to be more cognizant of this.
