Informative Speech

For my informative speech, I researched the Saw Shark. I think my speech was alright but there is room for inprovement. I think i said "um" too much and i swayed from side to side too much. I also looked at my power point too much. Some things I liked about my speech was that I knew what I was talking about and I think I spoke clearly and with confidence. I liked this speech better than the brown paper bag speech because I do not like talking about myself. I enjoyed researching this fish and learning about it and then being able to tell my classmates about it. I need to work on my hook but I thought my conclusion was good.

Brown Paper Bag

After watching my brown paper bag speech, I saw that I am not the best at giving speaches. I jumped around too much when I was talking and I looked off of my note card. Although, I do think I had some good areas too. I knew what I was talking about, I used a loud enough voice for everyone to hear, and I did not fidget very much. Also, even though I was nervous, I did not have a shaky voice or a red face. I felt pretty confident when speaking because I knew exactly what I was talking about. I think it is a lot scarier when you do not really know a lot about what you are trying to say. One thing I need to improve is not bobbing my head so much when speaking.
