Communication, Film & Theatre

This handbook integrates the principles of classical rhetoric with those of contemporary public speaking and provides examples of how to apply these principles to various speaking situations.

Featuring concise explanations and examples of the main principles, categories, and techniques of public speaking, the handbook format allows students to access easily the material when they are researching, preparing, and practicing their speeches. Covering the full range of topics in all public speaking courses, this text's rhetorical grounding and easy-to-use format make it a practical tool for today's students.

• Emphasis on classical rhetorical principles throughout offers students a thorough grounding in theory.

• Strong coverage of critical thinking skills, especially in Chapters 1 and 2, provides students with a foundation of skills that can be used throughout their lives.

• Handbook format allows for both standard reading assignments and quick reference as needed, giving students a text with functionality that can be tailored to their own learning styles.

• Numerous examples from student speeches on a variety of topics from society, culture, politics, health, and science, give students a wide range of material as illustrations of key concepts and ideas. Appendix includes examples of both full student speeches and outlines.
