Use a logical sequence to guide your audience through your explanation from "summary" of The Art of Explanation by Lee LeFever

The key to a successful explanation lies in the structure and flow of information. By using a logical sequence, you can guide your audience through your explanation in a clear and coherent manner. This means organizing your content in a way that makes sense to your audience, leading them step by step from one point to the next. One way to achieve this is by starting with the most basic information and gradually building upon it. This allows your audience to establish a solid foundation before moving on to more complex ideas. Think of it as laying a groundwork for understanding, with each piece of information building upon the last. Transition words and phrases can also be helpful in connecting different points and helping your audience follow along. Words like "first", "next", "then", and "finally" can signal a shift in the conversation and guide your audience through the logical progression of your explanation. Consistency in tone and style is important as well. By maintaining a cohesive voice throughout your explanation, you can keep your audience engaged and focused on the content rather than being distracted by inconsistencies in language or tone. Grammar and syntax play a crucial role in ensuring clarity and understanding. By using proper sentence structure and grammar, you can convey your message effectively and avoid confusion. Contextual understanding is also key in guiding your audience through your explanation. By providing relevant examples, analogies, or real-world scenarios, you can help your audience relate to the information and make it more digestible.
