We created iSpeak as a student-centered text. We honed our approach and created a dynamic new text format. And make it easy on the wallet!” Your instructors told us, “Give us quality and an approach that supports our purpose of engaging our students.” You told us, “Make it relevant and meaningful-to us. When we chatted with you in classrooms and hallways, student unions and offices, you convinced us that there had to be a better way to get across the fundamental concepts of public speaking. Students often have trouble selecting a topic to speak about, and these themes would help them begin the topic selection process. I like all of the vital themes that are used to ground topic selection. I like the idea of the vital themes because they demonstrate to students that they can be more involved in their community and also because I feel it encourages them to become more informed about issues affecting them and their community. Unlike books that just teach to make students learn, this text gets students thinking on their own…thinking about what they know, how they can teach, and how to have organized thoughts. …the text proposes to be exactly what I am looking for: a fresh take on the fundamentals that keeps civic engagement in the foreground. I love the idea of a magazine style book with a contemporary design and feel to it! It speaks to me about engaging students in building healthy communities and individual contributions, which is something I talk about with them all the time. It speaks to students about currency in terms of issues, and price, two areas they care about. I like and I’m sure students will, too, the impression that McGraw-Hill went into the trenches to actually talk to students about what they wanted.
