A structure for examination in chief:

1. questions should be written in the lingo of the ear, not the eye.

2. to make your questions clear, add only one new fact to each question.

3. there needs to be a connection between the  witnesses 

4. use proper phrases to connect the matter in issue

5. repetition must be persuasive of things that are necessary

6. to dramatize a key point in examination in chief, learn how to stretch-out your questions.
