In this unit, you've looked at various modes of presentations. Imagine watching a presentation while trying to read a screen with a lot of text. You might feel overwhelmed. Now imagine the screen has a clear, striking image and less text. This change offers a more effective presentation because you can focus on what the speaker has to say. Presentation mode relates to poetry or drama as well. Reading a play is one way to understand the story. But when you see a play come to life on stage, you are able to get much more out of it.

How does the mode in which something is presented affect your understanding? Explain which mode—video, live performance, book, or other—works best for you.
