Identify the three elements of complete transitions and explain how those elements help to accomplish the purposes.

What will be an ideal response?

- The three elements of complete transitions are:
(1) An internal summary draws together the central points discussed within the body of the speech or even within the discussion of one main idea, serving both to aid memory and to signal closure to those points.
(2) A link is a connection from one idea to the next.
(3) An internal preview is a compressed version of what the speaker is about to develop ; it prompts the audience to anticipate what is coming. An internal preview will help prepare your audience to follow along every time you introduce a new main idea.
- The three elements make the speaker's movement explicit, help the audience identify where they are in the progression of ideas, provide a reminder of the points through repetition, and keep the speech flowing from point to point.
