The talks are ways of sharing useful information and of showing and telling others how to make or do something. 2 types of 4-H educational presentations are demonstrations and illustrated talks. These types of talks are effective because people learn faster and remember longer if they see as well as hear. The greatest value of demonstrations and illustrated talks, however, is to the 4-H members who plan, prepare, and present them. Every 4-H member profits in some way from planning and presenting an educational presentation.
