 Climax – the main points are delivered in the order of increasing
importance and the presentation is finished with the most significant
information.
 Compare and contrast – similar features are given and differences are
contrasted. Use the same structures to compare different events,
individuals or situations;
 Problem-solution – with four basic parts (description of the situation,
identification of the problem, suggestion of the solution, evaluation of the
solution). Do not present problems without concluding with some
recommended action;
 Simple to complex – ideas are listed from the simplest to the most complex
(can also be done in a reverse order). Use successive building blocks to
communicate complex processes or concepts;
 General to specific – moving from general principles or values to specific
applications or examples;
 Generalization – an opposite process – from specific results/applications/
examples to general principles or conclusions.
 Classification – the important items are the major points.
 Logical – you follow the basic idea in a logical order.

Based on the topic, also some other organizations are possible. However, you
must be sure that your way of organization is suitable for the issue and if
necessary, you should be able to justify it.

Closing
Last in the presentation comes closing, which ideally should be connected with
the goals set in introduction. You are to create a “closed loop”. So, you can:

 Review, highlight and emphasize - key points, benefits, recommendations
 Draw conclusions - Where are we? ... What does all of this mean in the
context? ... What will be the next step?

It is well-known that in a good presentation you say the information three times:
in the introduction you indicate what you are going to talk about, in the main
body you talk about it in detail, and in the closing you say what you have talked
about.
