AbstractCollecting references to the actio of fragmentary orators, this chapter explores the theoretical aspects of using the whole body (including both the speaker’s vocal delivery and his body language,) in public speaking. The evidence, despite its fragmentary nature, is contextualized using the advice given by the ancient rhetorical handbooks of Cicero and Quintilian on oratorical delivery, and related to modern theories of communication. The lack of a precise theoretical framework for actio in antiquity is argued to have allowed ancient theoreticians and practitioners considerable freedom for the representation and adoption of various elements of non-vocal delivery in their treatises and speeches.

During the past year a number of books have been published that make a strong case fo r the use of a laboratory approach for teaching mathematics. Numerous a rticles in both profession al and lay magazines have advocated a laboratory orientation. Compa rison of NCTM convention programs of today with those of even four years ago indicates a significantly greater interest in activity-based instruc tion. This heightened advocacy is good and appropriate, following on the heels of an extended period of curricul ar revision that emphasized the symbolic and the abstract.
