To get an idea across to an audience use an analogy. Tell how your idea is like something the audience already knows about. To develop analogies:
- Identify your point – write down things that make the point unique
- Brainstorm connections – think of similar items that share the same characteristics
- Choose the analogy – accurate and familiar to your audience – simple and memorable
- Explain the connection – explain how unfamiliar object is related to the familiar object
