Product Description Metcalfe's BUILDING A SPEECH, Sixth Edition, continues the tradition of providing proven texts at lower prices. With 20 chapters organized into five units, BUILDING A SPEECH guides students through a step-by-step process of acquiring public speaking skills by observation, peer criticism, personal experience and instructor guidance. Readings and exercises provide assistance in developing informative and persuasive speeches as well as research and speechwriting skills. This book establishes a caring environment for the learning process through a conversational style that aims to both interest and motivate students, while conveying encouragement through topics such as apprehension and listening that will help students to realize that they are not alone in their struggles. It is grounded in the philosophy that students can master the steps of speech construction if provided with a caring environment, clear blueprints, and creative examples. | ||

Good Price Saved a nice amount of money over the school bookstore. Book is okay. I had to buy it. Hard to really rate textbooks . . .who really enjoys them anyway! Does give a lot of pointers on speech writing - have a professor who does not do this, so I can say that it is a help. | ||
Building a Speech I ordered and they said it shipped but I never did get it! Contacted seller they said sorry no reshipping. I am now out of 37 dollars and nothing to show for it!!! Be very careful when buying from this company. | ||
