The first section covers the history of rhetoric, and discusses
what speakers need to know about an audience in order to make a
speech effective. The second section provides information on
selecting appropriate topics, and researching and supporting ideas.
It also addresses delivery, style, and visual aids. In the next
section readers learn about building the parts of a speech: the
introduction, body, and conclusion, as well as the use of
transitions. The final section details specifics about creating
informative and persuasive speeches. It also covers the
requirements for speeches of entertainment.

message, and occasion. The appendix to the book has practical
