=Self-Reflection = Reflecting back on my performance, I completely agree with the feed-backs my classmates gave. "You seemed to be stuck a few times perhaps because you were nervous or you forgot what you were going to say next." This is entirely true; I didn't feel like I completely what I was going to say next. I had some pauses to recollect my thoughts and move on. Another classmate pointed out that I needed to speak more fluidly. "The speaker could have worked more on the fluency of speech because there were times when she had to think before she would speak." I also realized how I had to take a glance at my paper, and while I glanced down I'd be silent. Some classmates pointed out something I didn't realize until I read their comment. "The speaker should try relating the examples to the majority of the people so that more people can relate to the information given." I should have mentioned other groups of students who don't get their full rides home so that more people can relate to my speech. The more applicable a speech is, the more influence it would have on the audience. It is great to get feed-backs on both my written portion and spoken portion of the speech, because next time I can improve both aspects of a speech.

Personally, I felt like I could have been more prepared for the speech. I should have had enough familiarity of my speech so that I could speak fluidly without stopping. I agree, the pauses in between certain sentences made my speech less strong. I also thought that I should have broaden my examples so that it could be more applicable for the majority of the class. I also thought I might have came off a bit too passionate about the issue that it might have seemed too personal. Once again, I should consider all my audience and make them feel angry about the issue as much as I did. Reading some of the comments, I guess my classmates thought I didn't have the paper with me. "Mumbling can also be reduced by having the speech paper with you." I actually did have my paper (it just didn't show in the video), and I frequently looked down at it to glance at my next lines. I assume I mumbled because I didn't have all the words down in my head and I was trying not to read off my paper too much. Next time, like my peers say, I should relax more and, to not mumble, I should be more prepared or even read more parts off my paper, if I am desperate. Some classmates also gave positive feed-backs such as "She made good eye contact with the audience (through video) and tries to make people emotional about this situation." This encourages me to choose topics I feel very strongly about and to connect with my argument. A classmate also said "her speed was good," which means I don't have to worry about slowing down or rushing through my speech. Overall, this was a great assignment, not only because we got a chance to find out what we need to work on for our speech, but also because I learned a lot by critiquing other classmates' speeches as well.
