Last Week and Today There are some things you did correctly

and there are some things you really need to improve on

Every speech has space for improvements, but each time we can improve our overall speaking skills!

Things Done Well…OverallGood Volume Overall, this was the best skill you all used

Many of you had a decent rate (speed) The times you did not have a decent rate is

when you were nervous. Keep practicingEye contact was ok Not too many people were just reading from

their notes, which was good.

Informed of Topic: we knew the topic

Areas to Improve or Change

Gestures: Mainly one or two people used some gestures Others leaned on the table too much Some of you would hide behind the computer…this

shows a lack of confidence in your message

Single Eye Contact: look at all of audience

Relax and practice so rate is betterKnow your speech and practice to be CONFIDENT

Time: practice, practice…too far over the time limit Use visual aides (picture, prop, object, PPT, movie)

Conclusion and Introduction: be excited, gain attention
