As a final report, I am proud to say I improved greatly on giving speeches! :] My final 2 speeches were my informative and my persuasive . My informative was decent but was lacking enthusiasm and good eye contact. Whereas my persuasive was only lacking some information that could have been more supportive or helpful. On the good side my informative showed my improvements on the side that i was less hesative. My persuasive was by far my best because I did not hesitate or say "umm". I also came in with a strong introduction and made my points firmly.

My demonstrative speech did not turn out the way I wanted it too but it has good and bad opinions. I went up feeling more confident and less shakey. I was still nervous but tried to keep it less obvious. I tried to avoid words such as; like, ummm, so. I knew the information I was talking about better. I made sure I looked around the room more than before. Lastly it felt easier to speak to my audience.

Things I need to work on vary to things I speak on. This speech in particular I was not particularly prepared for the best even though I knew the information better. I still get fidgity and restless when I am in front of everyone but that keeps getting better everytime I speak. I need to work on finding different places in the room to look at, and not do it unevenly (look to one side more than the other). And lastly the thing I need to work on is staying enthusiastic and showing emotions.
