The Challenge of Effective Speaking Pdf Book
The Challenge of Effective Speaking
Feature of Book:
▪ Speech Plan Action Steps guide students through a step-by-step prepara-
tion process that results in signifi cantly better speeches. These Action Step
activities are supplemented by in-text and online examples of each activity
prepared by other students.
▪ Sample student speeches in Chapters 1, 11, 12, and 14 include adaptation
plans, outlines, and transcripts with accompanying analyses. Three new
speeches are featured in Chapters 11 and 14. In addition, video of these and
other student speeches—including an impromptu speech—are featured in
this book’s online resources.
▪ Speech Snippet boxes throughout the book provide “snippets” of speeches
by student speakers working through the myriad issues they must face when
preparing a speech. For example, in the Chapter 5 discussions about adapting
to an audience, the Speech Snippet boxes highlight how speakers demon-
strated personal impact in a speech, addressed timeliness and acknowledged
listener attitudes, demonstrated their direct expertise, established their trust-
worthiness, and more.
▪ The Challenge Interactive Video Activites feature videos of all the sample
student speeches featured in the text, as well as evaluation worksheets and
critical thinking questions for each speech.
