Looking Back

Well, looking at my speeches i realized i did pretty well; but i could have done so much better. The way i dressed in my Persuasive speech made it look like i wasn't prepared at all. I need to have better audience contact and i need to speak louder and be more prepared rather than hide myself. All my speeches were pretty good, but i thought i could have been myself more; i tend to be scared of talking in front of people when i'm needing too, but i can be myself when i'm not pressured to do so. :) My favorite speech was the How-To; i liked creating stuff that i liked, and i also enjoyed eating the wonderful food!

Speech Reflection

On my speech i chose the topic tie-dye; I chose it mainly because i love being creative and doing my own thing. It's something i can do in my spare time and it doesn't take long to do. i thought i did pretty well stand up in front of the class and i liked the idea of picking our own topic instead of having to do something we don't like. I thought i took my time, and explained everything clearly. I broke things down step by step, and read instructions very well. I thought by bringing in my materials it'd work a lot better, turns out i was right!

I thought during my speech i was stuttering to much, and i said whatever way too much! I could have slowed things down a little bit more and looked up at my audience but i get to nervous standing up there and having all eyes on me. It still is nerve racking but if i don't think about it, i start to be myself and be more calm and outspoken.
