She is ready to practice and finalize the ending of the demonstration. Which of the following steps did Amanda miss when planning this nutrition demonstration?

Accepted Answer

Amanda has defined a topic, considered her audience (middle school students), and developed the major concepts as indicated by her outline and knowledge of when she will cover each topic and activity. However, there is no mention of her gathering or including the necessary resources for the presentation, which is a crucial step in planning.

Question 14

Why is it important to develop an outline for a nutrition demonstration?

Accepted Answer

Outlines serve as a guide for the nutrition demonstration, ensuring that the presenter stays on track, covers all necessary points, and presents information in a logical and organized manner. This can help the audience better understand and retain the information being presented. While outlines may also assist program planners in selecting a topic, provide guidance on evaluations, and potentially hinder organization if not created effectively, these reasons alone are not as important as the role an outline plays during the actual demonstration. Therefore, C is the best answer.

Question 15

Which of the following is the last step in planning a demonstration?

Planning an attractive ending is the last step in planning a demonstration. This is important to leave a lasting impression on the audience and to ensure that the demonstration ends on a high note.
