Speaking Center Handout Series
about the handout series
The Speaking Center staff works throughout the academic year to revise and create handouts on a variety of topics relating to oral presentations. The handouts are arranged according to the five canons of rhetoric, which reflect the process of developing a speech. We are always looking for new ideas for handouts. So, if there is no handout for a topic you are interested in, contact us at the Speaking Center and let us know.
printing handouts
There may be times you want to print a handout to assist you in
constructing your presentation. The Speaking Center web site is
designed to be printer-friendly and cut down on ink and paper costs.
The image on the right shows what will print when you choose "print"
from the file menu of your web browser.
