BDB: IE TEXTBOOKS
117 pages, 12 Chapters Jim Hanson with Diana Thompson, Nicholas Thomas, and Katie Imbeau
This is a great way to teach individual events.Rather than tired generic descriptions of public speaking, this book provides the critical tools to choose a winning topic, to prepare great extemp files, to cut interp pieces the right way, and so much more to help students succeed. Chock full of examples, tips, stories, pictures and details on all of the key individual events, you and your students will benefit greatly from a book that finally teaches individual events as they are practiced rather than from stuffy principles that someone else thinks are important. The book covers extemp, impromptu, persuasion/oratory, informative/expos, after dinner speaking, editorial commentary, and interpretation (duo, poetry, prose, serious and humorous dramatic, and thematic combinations such as programmed oral interpretation).
