Lesson 13 discusses the effective use of visual aids when communicating or presenting. It recommends only showing visual aids when discussing them, talking about the aid while displaying it so everyone can see, addressing the audience and not the visual, considering safety issues before passing objects around, and not overusing aids. Traditionally, speakers stand to the visual aid's left side.
