This research guide will assist you in finding materials for your Public Speaking class as well as any other speeches you might have to give. You'll find information on picking a topic, links to notable speeches, and resources to include in your speech (such as visuals or polls). The site map below will help you find information for your speeches, offer tips on public speaking, and more.  In the left-side navigation menu, the different sections unfold from the main menu topics, as shown in the graphic below.  The library worksheet can be downloaded further down this page.  If you have any questions about the resources in this guide, please contact me using the contact box to the left.
