tips for teaching
Offering examples is a way to support the speaker’s main point.
Examples can be personal experiences or information from a source.
For context, is useful to share the sources (newspaper, video, etc.) when using examples from a source.
Example: “I saw on the local news that the highway will be closed for repairs.”
Teaching examples is a good opportunity to discuss sources and credibility.
