Cicero's Five-Step method for constructing a speech

Cicero's elegant five-step method for constructing a speech:

• invention
• arrangement
• style
• memory
• delivery

This was proposed in the book in chapter one without much background information.

They are referred to elsewhere as the Five Canons of Rhetoric:

│ The Five Canons of Rhetoric serve as a guide to creating persuasive messages
│ and arguments. These are invention (the process of developing arguments);
│ arrangement (organizing the arguments for extreme effect); style (determining
│ how to present the arguments); memory (the process of learning and memorizing
│ the speech and persuasive messages), and delivery (the gestures,
│ pronunciation, tone and pace used when presenting the persuasive arguments).
