Developed as part of a Statement of Educational Principles project for the Newport Beach (California) School District, the method of teaching speech communication that is detailed in this guide has been cited for its clarity, developmental approach, adaptability, and workability. The ten units in the guide cover the following areas: vocal delivery skills, nonverbal delivery skills, parts of speech, speech supports, media of speech communication, forms of discussion, storytelling, basic forms of public speaking, competitive speech, and speech communication theories. In each unit, behavioral objectives are progressively delineated for primary grades, upper grades, middle school, and high school. (FL)
