New "Observe" activities ask students to watch a speech from the Speech Video Library and answer auto-graded questions to gain insights into public speaking performances and apply chapter concepts. Instructors may also customize this Observe activity so students watch the same Speech Video but reply to open ended questions, ensuring that instructors create their course in ways that work best for them.
New "Prepare" activities guide students through the steps of topic generation, research, organizing and citing their research. MindTap’s Outline Builder tool folds this entire process together, resulting in a complete outline of their speech, including note cards. Each Prepare activity has been updated to reflect chapter concepts and instructors may customize the Outline Builder tool to precisely emphasize their chapter and course needs.
New "Practice" activities either provide an ethical prompt to which students record an impromptu video response or ask students to practice their formal informative, persuasive, or special occasion speech. These updated impromptu Practice activities emphasize chapter concepts and promote civic engagement.
New "Present" activities provide students with a prompt requesting them to video record their speech demonstrating their knowledge of chapter concepts, to share with their peers and instructor. These new Present activities are coupled with the existing Present activities in which students present their formal and final speeches in front of their class for real-time feedback. Pre-built rubrics auto-sum student work for easy instructor grading.
New “Additional Resources” folder includes downloadable/editable documents for Building Community in Your Class, two Communication Self-Awareness surveys (the personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety and the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension), the Speech Confidence Series (a microlearning one-minute video speech training tool accompanied by auto-graded quiz questions),and 21 essential readings and 12 videos on the fundamentals of Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing.
