Speak Up!: An Illustrated Guide to Public Speaking
Written by professors with 40+ combined years’ experience teaching the course and a competitive background in debate, Speak Up! connects with students through lively writing, compelling real-life examples, practical guidance, and hundreds of custom-drawn illustrations that bring public speaking concepts to life. Instructors will appreciate the book’s serious coverage of concepts and theories, fascinating examples, and unique and often humorous illustrations that help students understand and retain concepts from the text.
This edition features new illustrations, in full color for the first time; an increased focus on civic engagement throughout; and an all-new version of our Speech Choices case study feature that leads students through all steps of the public speaking process. Video of that student’s final, full-length speech appears in LaunchPad, a comprehensive digital resource to accompany the book, alongside additional speech videos, a new video assessment program powered by GoReact, an adaptive quizzing program, and more.
