NAU Challenger Disaster President Ronald Reagan Paper

Historical Speech Review

The ability to recognize and explain the elements of the speech communication process is the beginning of truly understanding how to prepare for and deliver effective oral presentations. When we are able to recognize the elements of the communication process, we are then able to think more critically about the other factors involved in the effective delivery of oral presentations.

For this assignment, you will view a historical speech (see below) and explain how the speech uses each of the elements of the communication process identified in the week two discussion.
