You may comment on the following aspects as well:
- Was the class persuaded? Do you feel you were persuasive or convincing enough?
- Eye contact
- Nervousness
- Preparation--did you practice enough? Too much? How many video takes did you have to do?
- Speaking rate (too fast? too slow? too many pauses?)
- Gestures (Did you do any?)
- Poise and presence accurately captured via video?
- Organization--did your speech have a natural organization structure?
- Facial expressions?
- Dressed and groomed?
- Was the background appropriate and not distracting?
- What would you change if you could do it all over again?
In addition, leave feedback for at least three students. Feedback should be specific and original. It should be obvious that you watched the entire video.

I like the way that you answer your question: "Is fast food bad for you?". How do you know that millions of Americans ask themselves this question though, unless it is something from a study? A couple of strange things are you sounded like you were kind of whispering and you sound sort of like it is an intervention for the audience to stop eating fast food. There are quite a few awkwardly long pauses. The biggest problem that I noticed was that you kept repeating the same points over and over, that fast food is bad for you and that it will cause health problems. The other problem is that there didn't seem to be a whole lot of fact based information or statistics. On the positive side, you spoke loud and clear enough to be heard and understood. You also had pretty good eye contact. You make a good point that it is better for you to cook a healthy meal instead of always going to fast food.
DeleteJames' speech used alot of good examples, especially the super size me reference. The camera angle was like a snapchat selfie, which was kind of awkward but the speech was good. He talks slowly which is good when trying to get a point across. He emphasizes a lot of words which I like. He gave tons of examples rather than general info which is better for a convincing speech.
DeleteJames this was your best speech yet your speech in my opinion was by far the best great job man you really opened my eye in the fast food category. To be honest I don't like fast food because it bad for you especially McDonalds but keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteYou had lots of interesting information and statistics. The speech was very well written and you moved through it seamlessly. I thought that you spoke at a very quick rate, but you spoke clearly so it was easy to understand. There may have been a couple of moments when you could have added pauses. I personally wasn't really persuaded but I'm not sure how others may have felt about it. The speech overall was very well put together and executed.
DeleteMy speech probably could have been slowed down a little bit, but I'd say that the content and flow of the speech were very good. It was easy to find good sources (If something as conservative as the American Enterprise Institute agrees with liberals, its hard to find someone that doesn't.), and I ended up having a lot more than I could actually fit into the speech. I probably would have slowed down or added more, but I though the time limit was 8 minutes and not 10. These would be pretty much the only things I would think about changing.
DeleteYour speech definitely had a lot of credibility and sources to back up your topic. You knew what you were saying and you seemed relaxed through the speech. I like how you were able to transition through the speech fluidly but you probably lost a few people by talking so fast. Overall, a great speech.
DeleteYou had a lot of research and it added to your speech. A couple of things that could've had improvement on was a change in tone during some parts, maybe some hand gestures, and to slow down more. Other than that you are a great speaker!
DeleteTravis had lots of stats, info, and research incorporated with his speech. Everything was well backed up too. Also his speech had good flow, maybe talked a little too fast but it was still understandable no doubt.
DeleteTravis' speech had a very nice tone and pace. He made it interesting to listen to. His speech was also well laid out which made it nice to listen to too. He had very good facts about every point and it was easy to tell he knew what he was talking about. He could have used a little more eye contact but on a video that can be difficult so its understandable how he doesn't have a lot.
DeleteI liked the lay out of Travis speech. His speech was a little quick but enjoyable. Travis is a great speaker and very good persuaing people to the side of his oppinion.

ReplyDeleteI felt like a bit of a procrastinator for this speech. It was more relieving since it wasn't in front of an audience. Due to it being videoed I could then focus on the meaning I put behind the words, I wanted to make an impact. My eye contact however probably was not the greatest but I didn't want to seem like I was just staring at the camera. Once I wrote my speech and added a personal story, I checked to see how long my speech would be and I think it was at a pefect time, not too short and not too long. I was also glad that my speaking rate was slower than what I usually do. I think slowing down changes the tone of the speech and makes the audience know this is a serious subject.
DeleteLauren's speech was very nice to listen to. I liked how her tone went along with her speech in that sympathetic way that makes you vulnerable to adopting a pet. She had a good layout and the personal story was a nice touch. It made me want to adopt a pet from a rescue instead of from a breeder or non-rescue. She had good facts and they were more factual than statistics which made it nice to listen to
DeleteI think Lauren did an amazing job on her speech! During the course of speech class I have always been impressed with how talented Lauren is. This speech was really good, like always Lauren always connects with her audience. I like how she explained that its good to give money but you should always consider to adopt. I also liked how she went past the idea of getting the pet, but also how to take care of it after you get one.

ReplyDeleteReally creative speech, Melonie! I like your use of other people--it was appropriate and kept my interest. The nine minutes went by quickly and the ending made me smile. :) Nice work!
DeleteYour introduction was so awesome! I was sitting and laughing while I watched it because I feel that way all the time in Chinese! I totally connected, and I like how you pointed out the benefits of knowing another language besides your first one. This was a very good speech, but it seemed a little slow when you first started out after the Korean/Thai drama scene. I really liked it though!!!
DeleteI thought i did pretty good in the speech. Second time recording myself and I didn't feel as nervous. I don't know why but to me, I sound kinda quiet when I spoke and I felt like I rambled on Blake's story. But I'm happy with the examples that friends Inhae and Shanika helped me with. But I'm happy with my speech overall.

ReplyDeleteI felt really awkward during this speech. I wasn't a fan of videotaping myself speaking, because I didn't realize how flat and monotone I actually sound. I actually recorded myself about 10 times before I got a video without many errors. I feel like I could have done more research then I actually did but, overall I think I did okay. I used note cards so I feel like that caused me to have little eye contact. The fact sheets we did in class kept me on tract for this speech . If we didn't do those, I probably would have been so lost without them. As far as nervousness goes, I wasn't to nervous since I was by myself. I hope I made the class consider becoming a donor! Overall, I think I did okay, not my best nor favorite speech.
DeleteNice job overall, Gaby! I didn't think you were flat or monotone at all. You seemed comfortable, relaxed, and knowledgeable. It was clear that you had practiced (or tried taping 10 times)! I think the notecards were better for eye contact than a piece of paper and you really looked up from them a lot. I'm glad the source pages helped! The delay on the camera was a bit distracting but the facts and info were solid. Nice work!
DeleteI really enjoyed Gaby's speech. I think she really explained a lot on the subject of organ donation. She didn't just touch the basic stuff but she went further into questions we might have about the matter. She also had a story to tell us about a child's death that saved many lives. Overall I was very impressed with the speech and how she didn't seem nervous. Good Job Gaby!!!!

ReplyDeleteI was entertained throughout all of Dakota's speech. I think that the topic somewhat related to everyone, as almost all of us have driven a car. Probably the most distracting thing about his speech was the continuous use of the word "now". However, I think that this is an interesting topic and aside from the poor eye contact, it was a good speech
DeleteFor myself I thought this speech was better than my last one for a variety of reasons. I covered alot of information in a decent and timely manner. I could have had slightly better eye contact I didn't think it was too bad. I could have perhaps dressed up a little more and had some better sources. Overall I thought it was a nice speech. My tone was great and I did have enthusiasm.
DeleteI really liked this speech! Dakota had nice posture which made it not awkward at all. He talked strongly towards the topic, which is always a great thing while trying to convince or persuade. I learned a lot from Dakota on this speech. He knows a lot cars, which helped him talking on the topic of street racing. I liked that he used Paul Walker as an example it really put that extra bit of truth and convincing to the speech.
DeleteDakota you did a great job man your speaking ability it outstanding it was in the required time limit and everything and you know I think racing in the public would be very dangerous but you did a good job.
DeleteDakota i thought this speech was a very good spech. The only thing you should change is be more enthusiastic. But the topic you picked was a good one and I think it was something you enjoyed talking about. Overall really good speech.
DeleteI really enjoyed Dakota's speech. I thought it went very well. I was very impressed with how calm he seemed while giving the speech. Now before this speech I of course didn't know a lot about street racing, now I feel like I know a lot about the subject. He had good posture while giving the speech, he seemed relaxed. Overall I was very impressed, good job Dakota.
DeleteDakota your speech was very well done! You had great eye contact and abviously knew alot about street racing as you were preparing for this speech. i thought the angle you were sitting at leaning back was a bit distracting but other than that your speech was very captivating. You did a great job of connecting with the audience and making us interested in a topic we usually wouldn't be.

ReplyDeleteThe one big problem that I had with my speech was the time on it. I ended up falling short on the time, and another thing that got kind of messed up was the first word of the speech got cut off. Aside from those things, I think that the speech went well. I spoke loud enough and projected so that the words can be heard pretty well. I did the speech in a bible study room at my church, which worked out great because there wasn't anything to really distract me. Also the lectern worked out great. It did take a few takes to get through the speech. I was dressed appropriately and I don't think the background was real distracting. If I were to do it all over again, I would maybe slow it down a bit and add a few more personal thoughts to the speech.
DeleteI loved the lectern and shirt and tie, Sunny. Obviously, the speech could have been a little longer. I would have focused a lot less on the history of and general information about the death penalty and put a lot more into the actual arguments for it. You also needed to either recheck your information or your quoting of it because there are not and have never been 3,000 countries. Finally, you might have focused more on addressing arguments against the death penalty (cost, morality, constitutionality, prejudice), as the arguments in favor of it seem pretty simple and you managed to lay them out efficiently.
DeleteYou presented yourself well by dressing up and being behind a lectern. Your introduction was well done and you seemed to know your information. It could have been a bit longer and you could have talked about the negatives of the death penalty at least briefly. Overall well done, just add more information and maybe show a bit more enthusiasm.
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy3WHJyGVTo
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the laid-back style really worked here, especially in the intro. For instance, if someone doesn't own a gun, you don't sound like you're actually talking to them. Also, you lost a lot a credibility less than 30 seconds in with the summary of the 2nd amendment and probably would have been better off just reading it. Overall, the speech was good, but could have been a lot better with practice and minor tweaks.
DeleteSean, this speech was not the worst of the year but you had plenty of better speeches. You had a very natural style that fit your personality well but I'm not sure that suited this speeches topic well. It seemed like you had done your research but just struggled to but it all together in an organized fashion. Your eye contact was very good as well as your facial expressions! Keep improving!
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqHFY5dUUjc&feature=youtu.be
ReplyDeletesorry for my interruption.
I really liked your introduction! It was very original, and I'm glad that you used a pillow and not a person, though as long as no one was hurt it would still be awesome! I also liked how you used hand gesture frequently throughout your speech. I would recommend not using the word, "stuff" so much, but the point definitely came across!!
DeleteOkay, this speech was the best I've seen. This was absolutely entertaining. I was surprised at the beginning if you jumping in the air and winning you match. And you kept reminding us that wwe was scriped, not fake. You also told us information that was new to me. Like wrestlers would cut themselves with razors and actual injuries that happened during events. Also, kudos to you Drew when you kept going during a brief interuption. That made your speech even more less awkward because you continuted on until the end. Good Job
Deletehttp://youtu.be/ylCfN8pGhKU
ReplyDeleteI loved your introduction! It was really cute how you opened up and I talked about what your plans were, it connected well with the purpose of the speech. You've also improved on speaking slower and more clear. Without a doubt this is your best speech so far.
DeleteGrace, having in your sister in your video was different, but a good idea! It made me realize that children, and people just like us are out there in the world starving and we take food for granted. You had a lot of stats and facts in your speech which put world hunger into more of a perspective. I think you did a really good job with this speech, your rate was good, and you spoke very clear. Nice job Grace!
DeleteI loved how you made this speech personal and added your own reasons for what you believed! I like how you tied in your sisters eating habits and the fact that you felt bad for throwing away good food, that made everything seem more real to me. Good job!
DeleteGrace this speech was amazing. I felt alot of emotion when you informed us about starving children in countries I least expected. Loved that you brought you little sister as an example. And your story when you gave that last slice of pizza to the little girl in Gualamala, was really good. It made me think how we should be thankful for what God gives us. And help others when they are in need.

ReplyDeleteI thought my speech went well. It wasn't as awkward doing it in front of a camera as I thought it would be. My eye contact was fairly consistent and my pace was nice and even. I thought I used enough facts and they seemed to flow nicely too. I practiced a few times and I wasn't too nervous about it either. I did use gestures and tried to use them a little more but my hands got cut off from the camera. Overall I thought this was a good speech for me.
DeleteWell done Alison! I totally agree with college athletes getting paid and you did a great job of tell us why. You seemed confident and like you knew what you were talking about so that was great. OveralI I think this was a great speech and I loved the topic.

ReplyDeleteMake sure you list it as "Unlisted" and not "private." If it is a private video, we can't watch it!
DeleteHayley I really liked your speech and you seemed to know what you were talking about which was very good. Usually in person you have this kind of excitement that you seemed to lack in this speech and it ended up sounding a little monotone. You also made a good use of your pauses although some were in the middle of sentences which lost me sometimes. It was a good speech though I liked it!
DeleteHayley- I thought this speech was really interesting! I totally agree that professional sports should have a salary cap, they get paid way to much for playing a game. However, you sounded really monotone in this speech, maybe it was my computer but that's how it sounded on my end. Besides that, you had a lot of interesting facts tied into your speech which made it super interesting! Your eye contact was good, and you didn't seem nervous at all. Good job Hayley!
DeleteHayley, you did a pretty solid job on this speech. You picked a very good topic to give a speech about, so automatically you grabbed your audiences attention. Even though the quality of the video was a little poor and you seemed to be speaking in a monotonic voice, you seemed prepared and showed it very well. Good job!!
DeleteHayley you did a pretty good job on this speech. I liked all of your facts they were very interesting.Overall I believed you did a great job on your speech.

ReplyDeleteahhh just in time...thank you slow wifi...
Nick, I am very upset that you would even consider driving and filming at the same time. You did a good job, buddy, with presenting your information. The introduction was nice, I liked how you showed the cars. You gave us visuals to show the phone and cars, which I liked as well. I also believe that texting while driving is a bad decisions, no matter how long or how good you are at driving. Good job, buddy.
DeleteNick- This was one of my favorite persuasive speeches on here! I really enjoyed your intro, as well as all of the facts you put in your speech. I absolutely HATE when I see people texting and driving. To be honest, I have tried, and I will never do it again. No text is worth losing your life. Your eye contact was awesome! It seemed like you practiced a lot for this speech! You didn't seem nervous at all! Your conclusion was awesome too! I enjoy all of your speeches, but this one was by far my favorite! Good job Nick!
DeleteNick your speech was very strong. Using the two visuals helped you grab the audiences attention well. You spoke very clearls and at a good pace. You only looked down at your paper a little bit, which showed preparation. GOOD JOB PAL!!!

ReplyDeleteI really like the opening. I like how you start with something more broad that's related. I like the background. It didn't really distract me, but it gave me something to look at besides you. You presented a lot of numbers. Your volume was really low, but the speech looked and sounded good aside from that. I liked the use of a bible verse. I also liked the transitions at the beginning and end. Aside from a couple of awkward pauses, the speech went really well.
DeleteHonestly, I don't think you should have backed off on the murder thing. If a life is a life, even before birth, than it is murder and backing off doesn't help your case. Also, while your emotional argument was communicated very well, you might have included something more logical as well. For instance, medical evidence about fetal development or contraceptives as an alternative might have added a lot. Overall, nice speech.
DeleteI'm actually glad you had this topic, everyone knows you for your out-going personality and with this speech I saw a different side of you. I think you spoke at a good rate and including the bible verse was a nice touch. If I were you I probably would've just done a couple minor things different, like dressed up more, timed my speech, and do a test check for volume. Overall I think you had a good speech.

I thought that my speech was okay. It was a topic that i knew lot about, but was kind of awkward and hard to expand on. That being said, I think it turned out about average. Not my best work, but it was hard for me to get a good flow going on this topic. It could have been better but i'm glad with the final outcome.
DeleteI thought Angel's speech was very good, he had a funny attention grabbing intro, and he got really serious and spoke with passion. You could tell he knew a lot about this topic, and you could tell that he had a strong opinion and emotion on his topic which really helped the listener feel why you should lean towards his side. He really did convince you to be on his side. Well done!
DeleteJon I thought you did a great job. You didnt have great eye contact but that was okay because i knew you were reading your manuscript. I thouguht your opening was funny and it pulled me in because you came to my level as a listener. Also great job of going on even though you didn thave it on your manuscript. Great job!
DeleteI really like angels speech even though he had the sniffles but you did a great job showed good eye contact and it seemed like you memorized it but you did a great job man.
DeleteI like your speech Jon it was a good all around kind of speech. It was deffinatley somthing you like to talk about. It would have been a little bit better if you showed a little bit more emotion for topic. Overall good speech.
DeleteAs always, I thought Jon had a good speech. He appeared confident and spoke naturally and fluently. I found the topic interesting, which was a good way to draw in my attention. The eye contact was not very good, but it was not very noticeable either. The fact that he was laying down while giving the speech was a little distracting, but other than these few critiques I did not find much wrong.
DeleteThere were some aspects of Angel's speech that I liked, while others I did not so much. I appreciate the humor, as obviously that connects to me. It was a decent speech, because there was a fair amount of facts. He seemed comfortable, confident. Like most people in this speech, the eye contact was not the best. While there were some good qualities of this speech and others not so much, I thought this was a good speech in general.
DeleteI thought Angel's speech was good. I wasn't really that connected to his topic but he was still able to keep my interested throughout his entire speech. His style was very natural like he had a loose plan for what he was going to say and had some pauses and stumbles but his previous knowledge of his topic made up for it. His eye contact was also good and I enjoyed watching his video. Good job!
DeleteI thought Jons speech was very well done. He's become a very good speaker over the course of the semester. He had a good topic with some good cold hard facts. He didn't seem nervous and spoke with confidence and an even pace.

DeleteDon I thought your speech was great! I liked the fact that you gave interesting facts about patients playing video games as a stress reliever and that you have good fond memories of trying to put your ps1 in the bathtub. But I did agree on the subject of older kids playing violent video games. I agree that those gamesshould be age restricted

ReplyDeleteYour introduction was well done and had a great emotional touch. You could have explained where you got alot of your statistics from, to prove your credibility. Otherwise a great speech on homelessness, you must have practiced a decent amount. Maybe its just me but I thought you talked a bit slow. Anyways great job!
ReplyDeleteTo whom is this comment addressed?
DeleteRight Above, Jannik.
DeleteI honestly was a lot more comfortable with this speech than I thought I would be! The first time I clicked record I went for about a minute and screwed up and had to start over. The second time I just kept going even when I stumbled once or twice and I think it still sounded alright. I wasn't sure where the best place to film the speech was but it looked light enough and warm with the Christmas tree in the background. I feel like a did a good job of presenting my argument and I hope people really think about not texting while driving now that they know a little bit more about the dangers it can cause. I thought I did a goo job of looking up at the camera...it's a different feel not looking at a spread out audience, just a small camera, but I thought it was okay. I thought I organized my facts and info well along with my own thoughts and ideas on what people should do as well. I was dressed appropriately and I had scratches and cuts on my face from a wrestling tournament but I couldn't think of a way to make them magically disappear. If I could do this speech over again I would memorize the entire speech so I could be looking up the entire time.
ReplyDeleteI did not enjoy this speech as much as I thought I would. I did not like the fact that it was mostly a memorized speech. I just could not ramble about my topic. It was also weird talking to no one. I liked my topic but it was difficult to find fluent and accurate information. i did not like this speech one bit.
ReplyDeleteAngles speech was good. I did not know that kids could not go strait to the NBA that often. It was very informative, and it made sense. they are adults and they should be able to make their own disissions.
ReplyDeleteDakota's speech was good but I don't know that it was persuasive rather than in formative it was a good speech with plenty of facts but you might need a knew camera man for next time. Like always you were very calm and had good eye contact.
ReplyDeleteAlison, your speech was very informative. I liked the was you used your references in the speech. You kept good eye contact with the camera. I also enjoyed how it did not seem like you were reading off of a script, but had it memorized. You used gestures well, like when you were talking about the amount of money that college football payers get payed and it was 0 so you put up the zero on your hand. Over all, you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI thought Micheal did a good job. Again his opening was fantastic and he pulled me in. I felt like he was a tad nervous but its hard looking at yourself in the mirror. Overall i thought his speech made sense and he had some good points, I dont completly agree with him but he did convince me a bit. Well done big guy
ReplyDeleteI think was speech was good. I was being a little silly at first but I was just trying to loosen up the audience and show that I can connect with all of thrm. I think was eye contact was good and my pace was better than I expected it to be, so thats alwasy good. I think this was a good speech and I had fun doing it
ReplyDeleteAngel I thought your speech had alot of good information. You should have more emotion and you should have talked a bit louder other wise great speech. You improved alot from the first speech so keep going your getting better. Also you have good eye contact and very rarely looked at your paper. Overal good job.
DeleteI thought you did very well Angel, I liked how you entertained for the introduction to kinda get the auidence going. Also, your pace and eye contact was good, alot better than some of your other speeches. You didn't seem nervous at all either which was good.
DeleteTravis's speech was good i had no idea that we wasted so much time and money on the war on drugs. It was a good speech with lots of facts. He had a good pace and kept good eye contact even though it looked like he was reading off a teleprompter. Over all a really good speech.
ReplyDeleteI felt that the topic I chose for my speech was a good one. I was able to give my opinion and was serious the entire time. As always, my eye contact was not the best. I felt confident and appeared confident as well. I was unaware of how quietly I was talking, or how poor my laptop was at picking up sound. Either way, I still should have spoken with more volume, Other than these minor setbacks, I feel this was a good speech
ReplyDeleteI feel like this speech went very well for me. I knew all of my information and I found an appropriate way to incorporate all of it into my speech. I think I may have come across a little stiff on camera, but I think it went well overall. Unfortunately, I was 10 seconds short, but I think all of the information I presented made my opinion on my topic very clear and hopefully caused them to reconsider where they stand.
ReplyDeleteOther than the fact that my speech was taken down this was deffinately my worst speech beacuse I kept looking up at the screen above it. also it went way to long. I should have shortened it up and not had such a long video. overall it was just bad and with all the technical problems for writing my over veiw and trying to repost my video it just became a hastle so if there was one speech i dont wann keep in the grade book it is this one.
ReplyDeleteI felt like this was one of the worse speeches i have done. I felt awkward doing this speech. I'm a people person, so me just talking to a camera wasn't fun. I thought I really didn't connect with the audience. I was nervous and scared to do this speech and then put it on line. I really did not enjoy doing this speech. Overall, I really wish I could have done better.
ReplyDeleteI was not very impressed with my speech. I thought I could have done way better. I had trouble with the video, I felt like it just wasn't personal. I never really like the sound of my own voice so when I did the speech and rewatched it I kept giving myself a hard time. I enjoyed the topic of my speech. I felt myself reading off my manuscript a lot more than usual. I had to keep redoing the speech because I couldn't find a quite place to film. Overall, I wish I could have done better.
ReplyDeleteI thought Angel did a good job with his speech. Your introduction was good. I felt that you lacked some needed eye contact. Your information was good, you could have cited it a little better. It was a little short, but I thought it was very imformative. Overall, great job!

ReplyDeleteI thought my speech went ok, I was kinda more nervous in front of a camera, I'm not sure why though. Also I guess I should've looked at the camera more but I found it hard to do that because it was just weird looking into a camera lens. Also, I guess my facts coould've have been backed up more. I also should've had more facts and statistics as well.
