Topic of speech?
The topic of my speech was “Is college life harmful to your health?”
How did you develop your ideas?
I developed my ideas by going through the outline that was given to us. First I stated a shocking statistical number to draw my audience in so that they would be interested in my speech, then I stated what the topic of my speech was, next I explained what I thought my topic meant, next I took a stand on my topic, next I gave my preview with two points (I road mapped out my speech so that the audience would be able to follow my speech), then I gave my first point, then I did a transition, then I stated my second point, and finally I gave a conclusion that summed up my speech and challenged my audience to take action.
What did you do well?
I feel like I did a really good job on my transitions and my introduction. They were strong and followed the outline very well.
What could you do to improve?
I would have to say that I really need to work on my conclusion. I feel like if I would have had more time to prepare my conclusion would have been stronger and more impacting to my audience. When giving my speech I also forgot parts of the conclusion and stumbled around a bit. Also I need to improve in my self confidence in my ability to speak in front of an audience. I can do this by practicing a lot and making sure that I have my facts down.
