Presenting: Chronological Order
When something is in chronological order, it means
events are listed in the order in which they happened.
Chronological refers to when the events happened in
time.
Beginning, middle, and end are words that show
chronological order.
Chronological order of events is one way to present
information in an oral presentation.
We can pick out the major points we wish to discuss,
and list them in the order they happened.
This makes our presentation easier to understand.
