Review

..".I particularly liked the skill building boxes as this reminds students that we are not simply covering communication principles but how to apply these principles in everyday life."

"Breaking down key points in speech preparation is essential in getting students to understand the entire process of creating a speech. I like how these [Speech Plan Action Steps] tackle each point one by one."
