Review
"Building a Speech gives very thorough coverage to some speech areas that are neglected by other textbooks. It has a "reader friendly" writing style and a great chapter on conducting research."
Synopsis
This textbook explains how to select a topic for a speech, write a purpose statement, conduct research, choose supporting materials, outline a speech, use visual aids, and build delivery skills. The sixth edition adds sections on plagiarism and small group development theory and restores the second chapter on building the first speech. Annotation 2
