Ps is more structured requires formal language requires a different method of delivery. Stage fright anxiety over the prospect of giving a speech in front of an audience. Speech making is an act of communication not a performance; don"t expect perfection. Work hardest on this part of speech introduction (nail it!) Critical thinking focused, organized thinking about logical relationships among ideas, the soundness of evidence, and the differences between fact and opinion. Avoid enthnocentrism the belief that one"s group or culture is superior to all other groups or cultures. True or false: speaking is the same thing as communicating.
