Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
How to Design & Deliver Speeches uses a variety of interactive tools with clear step-by-step instructions to help students actively overcome apprehension and feel confident in speech presentation. Rather than just describing what to do, this highly practical, perforated workbook text gets students practicing skills through exercises, checklists, self-tests and evaluation forms. Seventeen lessons with measurable objectives give students the tools they need to assess their own progress and insure that they are creating successful speeches. The structure of the text frees up more instructor time as well, enabling them to spend more time working with students individually.
New to the 8th Edition:
- Provides expanded coverage of using new technologies in public speaking to ensure that students are well informed about all the tools they can use to prepare and deliver effective speeches.
- Adds a complete chapter (Lesson 13) on aids, such as presentation software, multimedia, and computer-generated graphics as well as more traditional materials, , providing students with key information about how to create and use aids to visually illustrate key points in their speeches.
- Updates Lesson 15 on persuading to include a new section on credibility and on logical and emotional appeals.
- Includes new information on Internet research and evaluating Internet sources to better prepare students for this widely-used research source (Lesson 7, “Selecting Data”). --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Speechmaking Tool,
By "sasyfrog" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Design & Deliver a Speech, Sixth Edition (Paperback)
If you have never delivered a speech before, or you are a seasoned veteran, this book can help you no matter what speech level you are at. It is a helpful college textbook both for student and professor. The benefits for the student include writing that is logical and easy to follow, techniques that make sense, and the book is not 3 inches thick like most college textbooks!! For professors, there are sheets to be written on for easy grading of the student's speeches, and lots of information to test on that the student should know to be a successful speechmaker. All around the book is a great as far as a textbook goes. I would recommend this book for a college class, and even for someone who just wants to learn how to make speeches or pick up a few pointers.
