Topic :
Main Ideas For Giving A Message
 PREPARING THE MAIN POINTS FOR A
Message

DEFINITION: Main points are the major divisions

of the body of a presentation.
Each main point introduces one idea, or makes one
claim, that helps to advance the central idea
(thesis) of the presentation.

 LIMIT : the number of main topics in the body of the

presentation. Develop between two to five main points.
Audiences often have trouble following a presentation that
tries to cover too many major topics.

 PHRASE : main points in parallel language if possible. The

similarity in wording that parallel phrasing introduces will
help your audiences identify the major topics of the
presentation.
 STATE :main points as concisely as possible. Use simple,
declarative sentences to introduce each point you wish to
make in the presentation.

 BALANCE : the development given to each main point. Each

topic should receive roughly the same amount of time. If
some points are developed at great length while others are
just briefly noted, the presentation gives the impression that
some main points are unimportant.

 CONNECT : each main point to the thesis of your

presentation. The best way to avoid wandering off on a
tangent is to ask yourself why this particular point is
pertinent to the central idea of the presentation you are
giving. Avoid the temptation to explore amusing facts and
ideas which, while interesting in an of themselves, have very
little to do with the central goal of your presentation.

 USE : clear transitional statements to indicate movement to a

new point. Transitions alert the audience that you are
finished with one point and are moving on. Without them,
you risk leaving your audience behind as you advance to a
new topic.
Now ,Have you ever attended any sermon,seminar, or assembly
? What purpose they are held for ?
They are held to teach a message of few words containing large
meanings.So, we can say that the main purposes of seminar
and sermons are to give messages. It means if the audience
could not pick the message then our seminars are useless.
So, we should make speech in such a way that our audience
could get a message. To fulfill this purpose main ideas are
necessary.The speaker collects examples, events ,stories ,
quotes etc for giving his message. These are main ideas of his
speech.By Adapting them he could deliver his message. Main
Ideas are necessary because if you will try to give a message of
two lines by talking for two minutes a man he would turn deaf
ear to your message
For Example : If we want to give the message to adopt
“Sunnah-e-Rasool(S.A.W.W)” then we shall prepare main ideas
for it and tell the people about the Sunnahs , their advantages
and the about the people who adopted them.
Another example is that if we want to give a message of
“Try,Try again” then we shall select main ideas for that and
then we speak to our audience according to that ideas.This is a
better way to deliver your message.
So, From this we can conclude that without main ideas , it is
difficult to deliver our message and we should have main ideas
to deliver our message in a better and understandable way .
