Persuasive Speech

I think that I did a lot better on my persuasive speech than I did on my informative speech. This is good, it means that I have improved a lot over the quarter. One thing that I improved a lot on was my opening. I didn't start with "I did" and I had a very strong thesis statement. The second thing I improved greatly on was my transitions. I think that my speech flowed better and went smoother. I spoke clearer and louder, and my eye contact and enthusiasm was stronger.
Something I deffinitely have to work on is my use of "um" and "and." Another thing I feel I really have to work on in time for the exam is my research citations.

How- To Speech

GOOD-

• I had my materials on time.
• I did well with my paper.
• Good attention getter.
• I used a lot of visuals.
• I was decently enthusiastic.
• I brought treats!

BAD-

• I said "Uh."
• Not a good, strong conclusion.
• I didn't look at both sides of the classroom equally.
