 Qualitative Comments/Evaluation

 

                                          

I believe my strong areas in my speech were the introduction and preparing my speech.  Everything went better then what I though it was going to be.  The camera did not bother me at all either which was surprising. 

I believe a strong area that I mastered was ethics.  I prepared my speech about two weeks before, and then practiced a little everyday.  


A way that I learn is that I learn from my mistakes.  I know what I have to improve on for me persuasive speech.  I am going to work on my speech as soon as I can start and I know the guidelines so I can get practice and deliver my speech with naturalist. 


Areas where I could improve are practicing my speech in front of a few more people.   I said “um” a few times.  I did not realize that I said it until the after I did it.  More towards the end of the speech, I was pausing instead of saying “um”. 

I would like to add transisitions in my powerpoint so I could talk about one point and then bring in another point and talk about that.  

Another where I could improve is slowing down a little bit when I talk.  I think in the beginning of my speech I was rushing because I was nervous.  For my persuasive speech I know for sure I will deliver with naturalness.
