Preface
his manual is a guide to teaching from The Art of Public Speaking. It is intended primarily
for the benefit of new and less experienced instructors, but we hope you will find it valuable
even if you have been teaching public speaking for many years.
The first part of the manual presents course outlines based on The Art of Public Speaking for
both the semester and quarter systems. Part II explains the speech assignments included in the
course outlines and offers alternative assignments as well. Part III discusses evaluation and grad-
ing and includes several forms for evaluating student speeches.
Part IV is a chapter–by–chapter guide to The Art of Public Speaking. For each chapter of the
book, it provides a statement of objectives, a chapter outline, discussions of the critical–thinking
exercises presented in the book, and additional suggestions for exercises and classroom activities.
In addition to the exercises in the book and in this manual, instructors will find more than 380
speech assignments and classroom activities in the six anthologies of Selections from the
Communication Teacher that are on the Instructor’s Resource CD–ROM that accompanies this
edition of The Art of Public Speaking. Written by teachers for teachers, these articles offer a
wealth of practical ideas for classroom use.
T
The Instructor’s Manual has again been printed on 8½ x 11 tear–out pages, so instructors can
easily reproduce exercises, speeches, and evaluation forms for use in the classroom.
The aim of this manual is to provide the most helpful resource of its kind available with any
public speaking textbook. If you have questions about the manual, or suggestions for improving it,
please contact us at selucas@wisc.edu or paul.stob@vanderbilt.edu.
A Guide to Instructional Resources
for The Art of Public Speaking
very aspect of the textbook, print supplements, video program, and online resources have
been carefully developed to ensure that they work together as an integrated teaching and
learning system. Each element of the system is explained below. Summarizing them here will
help individual instructors determine which are best suited to meeting the needs of their students.
Connect
connect.mheducation.com
A pathbreaking digital resource, Connect provides online access to all the teaching and learning
materials available with The Art of Public Speaking at a single Web site.
Instructors can integrate Connect with their reading assignments and classroom discussions—
Speech Videos
Connect contains more than 60 video clips that demonstrate the principles of public speaking
in action. Each clip has been chosen to illustrate a specific aspect of speechmaking, and each is
fully coordinated with the book. So, for example, in the section of Chapter 10 that provides a
sample speech introduction, students can see how the introduction they are reading in the book
was delivered by the original speaker. The same is true of subjects from ethics to visual aids, sup-
porting materials to extemporaneous delivery, introductions and conclusions to language use and
E
Online Study Questions
To reinforce key principles and ideas, Connect contains a comprehensive set of study ques-
tions. These questions utilize a variety of formats and systematically cover all the major concepts
LearnSmart
LearnSmart is a diagnostic study tool that helps students absorb and internalize key ideas
from the book. LearnSmart adapts to individual students and, based on their responses to ques-
tions about key concepts in the book, identifies strengths and weaknesses in their grasp of core
content. By tracking student responses, instructors can use class time to focus on subjects that
students find most challenging.
Outline Tool
In addition to video clips and study questions, Connect includes a speech outliner that guides
students systematically through the process of organizing and outlining their speeches. As stu-
dents use the outliner, they move step by step through each element of the speech from title
Outline Exercises
Interactive outlining exercises give students additional help in developing their skills of
speech organization. These exercises present scrambled outlines that students can rearrange in the
correct order by using standard drag–and–drop procedures. As with other features at Connect, the
aim of these exercises is to put online technology to the best possible pedagogical use. The exer-
cises can also be used in the classroom to facilitate the discussion of outlining principles.
EasyBib
EasyBib is a Web–based tool that automatically formats bibliographic entries in MLA or APA
style. Students can use it when creating bibliographies for their speech outlines.
Worksheets
Self-Assessments
Self–assessment forms for the informative, persuasive, commemorative, and online speeches
direct students in reflecting on their presentations and what they need to work on in the future. A
self–assessment form is also available for group discussion projects. Like other elements of
Connect, the self–assessments are designed for blended and online courses, as well as for
traditional classrooms.
Speech Capture
This cutting–edge tool lets instructors evaluate speeches live using a fully customizable ru-
bric. Instructors can insert comments at any point in the video, thereby allowing for precise, pin-
pointed feedback. Speech Capture can also be used by students for peer review in conjunction
with the self–assessment forms discussed above.
Speech Preparation Checklists
Course Management System
Another advantage of Connect is that it allows instructors to create, administer, and grade as-
signments completely online. It also provides a single site for posting syllabi, course announce-
ments, assignments, grades, and discussion forums. Students and faculty have single sign–on
capability, with LMS integration.
SmartBook
SmartBook is a media–rich learning tool that continuously adapts to student progress. By
highlighting and emphasizing what each student needs to focus on, SmartBook creates a personal-
ized experience for everyone from the most advanced students to the ones who need extra help.
Instructors will find this tool particularly useful in classes where students are reluctant to read the
material carefully.

Introductions, Conclusions, and Visual Aids
Because speeches are performative acts, students need to be able to view speakers in action, as
well as read their words on the printed page. Introductions, Conclusions, and Visual Aids is a 30–
minute video that uses excerpts from a wide range of speeches to illustrate the principles of effec-
tive introductions, conclusions, and visual aids. Produced exclusively to accompany The Art of
