The video explains: 1. When deciding how to communicate information in a speech, you can choose from various approaches: defining, describing, demonstrating, or explaining. 2. Definition is suitable when the topic is new to the audience or when addressing complex concepts. It can be done using operational definitions, negation, examples, synonyms, or word origins. 3. Description involves providing a mental picture to the audience using concrete words to help them visualize the content. This can make abstract topics more understandable. 4. Demonstration may involve physically showing how something works, but it can also rely on verbal demonstrations of steps or processes. 5. Explanation is common in informative speeches, involving the provision of reasons, causes, relationships, interpretations, and analyses. Strategies for explaining complex information include using analogies, defining terms in multiple ways, simplifying terminology, and utilizing presentation aids for processes or structures. 6. To explain counterintuitive ideas, address commonly held assumptions, acknowledge plausibility, and demonstrate limitations with familiar examples.
