main point’s importance is derived from its location or directional
focus. Things can be described from top to bottom, inside to outside,
left to right, north to south, and so on. Importantly, speakers using a
spatial style should offer commentary about the placement of the main
points as they move through the speech, alerting audience members to
the location changes.
