ReplyDeleteQuite honestly I hated this speech. I felt it was hard to get my point across through a screen instead of in person. I did not like having to record my speech. I thought my speaking rate and my eye contact was not to bad. If I were to do this over again, I would have tried to memorize more of my speech. I also wish I would have practiced a bit more. Overall I did not hate this type of speech, just the aspect of having to record it.
I thought you had a good intro, transitions, and good voice tone! I really enjoyed your topic as it is a subject that I always find interesting! You also had a lot of good information in your speech as well and kept good eye contact!
DeleteI really enjoyed your speech. It was very important and you had a really nice tone. Very poised and confident. Good job!
DeleteKeilani I really enjoyed your speech! You had a great topic a great opening sentence. You also had great transitions and good voice tone and then you kept your eye contact and I really felt persuaded by your topic! I agree that fast food can definitely transform you into becoming someone you don't want to be it was it's very important to keep a healthy body. You had a lot of great information nice facts. Overall nice job Keilani
DeleteI like the listed medical effects because it allows me to visual a human body as it becomes effected by all the disease until it shuts down. I like the nutritional data provided. I like the idea of eating home cooked healthier meals instead of fast food but often I barley have enough time to eat little more than some chips and other cereals.
DeleteI liked how much information and data you packed into your speech! I thought your eye contact was good. I also liked that you provided the listener with other options and options that were just as quick as getting fast food. I think it was a good relatable topic and over all a very good speech!
DeleteKeilani, I really liked this speech. I thought your eye contact was good, you rarely looked down at your note cards. I strongly connected with this speech because I personally completely avoid fast food, my family actually has become pretty educated on all of the nasty stuff it contains. But I still enjoyed learning more about the terrible effects it has on the body. I agree that families need to enjoy home-cooked meals more, and I believe that would drastically increase America's health. You packed a ton of information into this speech and I was interested the entire time. Good job overall!
DeleteYour language is very fluent, the voices and organization are very good. Also, I highly agree your point that fast food may increase your risk of disease. Therefore, we need keep away from it.
DeleteKeilani, overall, nice job. Your intro was captivating and had me wanting more information. The topic you chose was a good one because many people are ill informed on this subject. I agree that obesity is a growing problem in the world, especially in America. You had good eye contact. In some places, your sentences were a bit choppy, but it was not a major issue and did not prevent me from staying connected with what you were saying. Overall, great job!
DeleteKeilani, I thought your speech went really well. You listed facts along with health concerns that I think really caught everyone's attention. It was smart of you to explain some of the words that you said, a few of them were confusing but you cleared them up. You made good eye contact and weren't reading off your paper the whole time. You also did a great job at slowing down your pace and making a connection with your audience. Nice job on this speech.
DeleteI really liked this speech. Your intro was shocking and it really drew me in to listen to the rest of your speech. Your eye contact was great, but you did speak a little fast. Your speech was full of good, reliable information and it was a great topic to speak on. It was a great balance of opinion and facts. Your conclusion was strong. Overall, great job!

ReplyDeleteThis speech was alright I had some malfunctions with the person running the camera. It took forever to upload but it finally came through. I actually felt really comfortable doing this speech. It was kind of fun and new. I feel I did an ok job with the eye contact in the camera, but felt that I could have done better with my eye contact when I read my stats. Other than that and a few mistakes, I did ok in my books.
I loved your intro! Very creative! I felt as if you got your points across and had a lot of good information! Good job!
DeleteTyler, your intro was honestly very good. I like how it sort of drew me in to your speech. You seemed like you were very confident in your topic. Your eye contact was great and I thought you projected your voice pretty good as well.
DeleteOverall, I thought you did a great job.
Tyler, I really liked your intro it really grabbed my attention right off the bat. Also you seemed very confident in your speech and your eye contact showed that you memorized your speech pretty well. Also I saw that you had some good gestures added into your speech. Overall it was a great speech. Well done.
DeleteTyler I loved the intro to your speech it was very creative! You had a great topic and I also get to into my phone and Internet. It was a great attention getter. You had poise and confidence. You had great eye contact. You could definitely see you had your speech memorized which is great! Your added gestures were great! Overall nice job!
DeleteI really liked your intro I thought it was different and fun. I liked your topic and the fact that we could see your gestures because it wasn't just your head and shoulders, it made it more engaging. Overall I really enjoyed your speech, nice job!
DeleteIt is so fascinating, your intro was very different from others and it was very good. You had many body languages and clear topic, also you looked confidence. But next you should hide your speech draft under the camera and it will be more perfect. Good job!
DeleteNice job! You're speech was great. Your intro was very interesting and well done. Eye contact was good. Another thing that was done well was gestures. Your whole body was included in the frame, so the gestures were more noticeable and dramatic. One thing that was a bit distracting was the background. Other than that, nice speech!
DeleteTyler, I thought you did a great job on your introduction I think we all do this frequently. You did a good job with the influction in your voice and you didn't stutter but you did lose your place once or twice. Your topic was a hard one to argue in this day and age of computers in our pockets. Although I think you did a good job arguing your position. Well done and you didn't read off of your paper that much other than the facts you listed at the beginning. Nice speech
DeleteWow, Tyler! Your intro as super creative! I was really, really confused on why you were on your phone, but then it started making a lot of sense to me. Your topic was somewhat sensitive due to the world being somewhat "overtaken" by technology, but it was very well said. I do find myself getting sucked into the internet the way you talk about in your speech. I liked how the camera was positioned farther back to really show your expression and gestures. Overall, this was a really great speech!
Deletehttps://youtu.be/gg-mIzxusDU
ReplyDeleteI really did not like this speech at all. I felt it was harder to give a speech in front of a camera than in front of class. I'm bummed about my time. All the information I was looking up was pretty much the same on every site. I felt as if I showed no emotion and barely had any eye contact. The uploading and filming went well. I practiced about three times and filmed twice. I really did not like this speech as much as I thought.
Sarah I enjoyed your speech! You had a great topic. You seemed pretty poised and looked like you had confidence. You had a great intro and conclusion! Something to add in your video should've been a few gestures. Otherwise you did an amazing job!
DeleteSarah, your speech topic is actually very similar to mine (even though mine isn't turned in yet, it was on having shorter school days) so I kind of liked the different spin you had on that. I think this is a topic everybody in our age bracket can easily relate to, as I know plenty of us are exhausted during the school day and don't get enough sleep. You did a good job of citing sources in your speech, and I especially found it interesting the facts you found on how much better students perform in general with a bit of extra time to sleep in. There were plenty of statistics and facts to make this all seem very credible and convincing. My only suggestion is maybe to somehow pin your papers up somewhere near your recording device or something, they were a bit distracting. Also I'd suggest cutting out the few end seconds after you were done recording. But overall I really enjoyed it! Good job!
DeleteSarah, I thought your speech was really good. You didn't have great eye contact but the info that you read was really packed with facts. You had a great setting and you didn't stutter very much finding your words. Nice job ~Bryan Roob
DeleteI really liked your speech. You seemed very credible because you had many facts and statistics. You were very poised and confident. One thing I would suggest is to have someone hold your manuscript or prop them up somewhere. Then they would not be visible, as I found them to be a little bit distracting. Other than that, well done!
DeleteSarah, I really loved your speech. It was very relatable and it was easy to agree with. Your information was very credible. I really liked your intro and how you related it to your audience. Your eye contact suffered a bit due to the fact that your manuscript was visible. You spoke with confidence and it really helped get your point across.

ReplyDeleteThis was probably my least favorite speech. I do not think I was accurately able to convey my feelings as well through the screen as I would have been able to if I were to have done it in person. I had a few hand gestures, but most of them were at the end. Eye contact was good I think, but it seems like I was lacking in facial expression. Overall, I am a bit dissatisfied with how I did, but it definitely could have been worse.
Very informative! You were so poised and had a great pace. Your eye contact was also very good! Great job.
DeleteMaddeline you had a great topic your introduction was awesome! It was something I never knew! Your speech was very informative you had great eye contact and poise. You looked like you have great confidence. Overall nice job maddie!
DeleteI LOVED your speech!! From the first sentence I was interested in what your topic was going to be and everything else you had to say! You had a lot of good information and you looked very poised! This was a really good speech!! Good job!
DeleteI always enjoy your speeches and this one was no different! I thought your topic was really interesting and your transitions flowed seamlessly. Really good job!
DeleteYou gave a fantastic speech with an impressive beginning. Also, you used appropriate body language and made a good eye contact. Everything look perfect! Nice job!
DeleteMaddie, as usual this was a fantastic speech. This topic is actually very intriguing and you seemed very opinionated on it which is good. You were confident and calm when speaking. I did not even think your hand gestures were lacking or a problem at all!
DeleteYour confidence intrigued me. You had a great start and a great finish. You made several solid points on beauty pageants. Yes they can harm the person physically, as well as mentally. Beauty pageants should all be banned in my opinion. They are useless and are an extreme waste of time and money. Your eye contact was amazing and your volume was well. I could've sworn that you cut out some parts of the video though and then continued from them which was distracting for a second but it carried on well.
DeleteMaddie, your introduction really caught everyone's attention. You made many good points that would absolutely convince anyone. You did a great job and I think that everyone would agree with your point of view. Kids should be kids, not worrying about their appearance at such a young age. Well done on your speech.

ReplyDeleteI thought this speech was alright. I was pretty confident going into this speech partially because I didn't have to do it in front of the whole class. During the recording process, I had to stop and make another one because I would mess up and I would get annoyed, but luckily that happened at the beginning of my speech. Although I messed up a few times, I felt that I got the whole thing done in less takes than I thought. I felt my eye contact was iffy, but otherwise every thing else was good. Overall I feel alright about this speech.
Nate, I thought you did a good job. I thought you projected your voice well. I thought you were very confident with what you talked about. And lastly, I thought your eye contact was okay.
DeleteGreat job! Your background was nice. You seemed credible and confident about your subject. Another reason why your speech was good was that I could not see the manuscript. Papers can be distracting in front of a camera, which is good that you did not have your manuscript visible. Overall, nicely done!
DeleteNate, you did a great job on your speech. You made multiple valid points and your introduction was really well done. You made really good eye contact from what I could see and your setting was really nice. You had some great facts about cyber bullying. You did a great job about weighing the odds between good and bad internet use. Well done
Deletehttps://youtu.be/rZxDSFMufjg
ReplyDeleteI really really did not like this speech. I can't stand video taping myself and I barely looked in the camera. I didn't watch my video after I recorded, so it's probably loaded with mistakes. I did enjoy talking about something I was passionate about and writing the manuscript was probably my favorite part.

Pure Socialism is Communism. You don't need pure socialism to operate a nation effectively. A some what socialized state that operates market for primary resources could effetely be sold at incredibly low prices on the market of the nation to benefit the society. You can simply regulate education so that stricter policy enables individuals to progress in life. The Tax rate could be flat or curved to fit the means of the people. The Untied States is capitalistic market that operates poorly. You need to regulate industry or otherwise monopolies and all those supposed top 1% job creators are really just destroying the smaller market. I am a socialist myself but I would not advocate at all the system the U.S. uses. Really attacking the Healthcare system. There are so many things wrong with our healthcare system it is a joke. Obamacare Medicare all that is a load. Otherwise I really enjoyed your video and the material presented.
DeleteI am afraid you are looking directly at the extremes.
Zack I thought your speech was very interesting! You had a great intro that really grabbed listeners. The body portion of the speech was packed with info. Overall I thought it was well done.
DeleteFIrst off, your introduction caught my attention immediately. I'm very poorly educated on this topic but I found that I learned a lot from this and actually was interested the entire time. The bulk of your speech had plenty of facts and statistics, but I liked how you also threw your opinions in there a lot to help tug on the emotional side for the audience. It was blatantly obvious you're extremely educated and passionate on this topic. My only complaint would be you had almost no eye contact and the recording angle was a bit awkward looking.
DeleteYoure speech was interesting. I learned a lot, since I did not know much about this subject previously. You were very credible with facts and statistics. One suggestion would be to have more eye contact. The speech would have been even more captivating if you were to look at the camera and connect with your audience. Overall, nice job.
DeleteZack, you had a great introduction you caught my attention. Although I do not agree with everything that you said you did make some interesting points. You had some great facts and you made a great argument. Your background was nice and your voice was steady and you spoke confidently. Only thing you could improve on is your eye contact. Otherwise you did a great job.
DeleteI really enjoyed your speech, you took a topic that I thought would probably be a little boring, and a topic that I don't really know a whole lot about, and you made it really interesting and I feel like I learned a lot. You had great points and after listening to your speech there is no doubt in my mind that capitalism is better than socialism

ReplyDeleteThis speech was alright. I thought it was kind of a pain to video tape it and get it on you tube though I did like the ability to redo it. I made a couple of mistakes and stumbled over a couple words but it was by far my best take. I wasn't nervous because it was just an ipad so that was nice. I tried to play with my tone and inflection and I think I did so successfully. Overall I thought my eye contact was good though it did suffer towards the end.
Alex I thought your speech was very good. You spoke slowly and it was very clear. Your background was very homey. Your intro was very emotional and grabbing. You also had a lot of good info in your speech. Your conclusion was also good because you wrapped all the info together.
DeleteAlex, your intro was very good. It grabbed my attention and drew me into your speech. You had very good thoughts and spoke confidently. Your background was good as well. You had very factual information and you portrayed it in an interesting matter.
DeleteAlex, your intro had me at the edge of my seat. Nicely done. Your tone was appropriate and you had many statistics and facts. I liked that you had your manuscript not visible to the viewer or had it memorized. You seemed very passionate about this topic and had lots of emotion. Great job!
DeleteAlex, really nice job on your speech. You had a great introduction that really caught my attention. Your voice was well paced and had a nice tone. You made some very good points that were really persuasive. Your background was nice and you had great eye contact. I think this was one of your best speeches despite a few slip ups. Nice job.
DeleteI really loved your speech, Alex. Your intro was a great attention getter and really drew me in. It was obvious that you were very passionate about your topic. Also, your facts were very credible and it was great to see that you didn't have your manuscript visible. Some more gestures would have been great, but overall, good speech!
Deletehttps://youtu.be/KA-kS4efWmQ
ReplyDeleteI liked my topic because I truly believed everything that I spoke. I was confident with my opinion side by backing it up with statistics. I forgot all about gestures till the last 30 seconds and I looked down a lot but I feel that I didn't look down that much for it to be a bad thing. Overall, this was my most confident speech besides the extraterrestrial speech and I loved speaking my mind along with statistics.
I like the information provided. I would like a even larger coverage of all available materials though. It is definitely hard to find unbiased material because this topic very controversial due to systemic problems as well. Race plays a role but I don't think it can be attributed as the biggest problem African Americans face. Good work it was interesting.
DeleteVince, your speech was well done you had good eye contact and spoke confidently. Your topic could be seen as controversial to some but I think you portrayed your opinion in a biased but well thought out opinion. Race is not an easy topic to speak of but you did it well. It was overall a good speech.
DeleteVince, your speech was very controversial. I somewhat agree with the information that you presented. You had some eye contact, but you looked down a lot. The gestures were nice at the end. Your pace and tone were both good. Nice job.
DeleteVincent, your introduction was interesting, it didn't have such a great attention getter, but it still got your main appoint across for this speech. Your facts were a little odd but still made sense. I had to take a second look when you quoted google, a little odd, but still valid. Your voice had a steady pace and you had pretty good fluctuation in your voice. Your background was nice and you had some nice gestures. Overall, you did a good job on this speech.
DeleteOh, Vincent. This speech was very, very controversial. Even though it was, you spoke with confidence. Some of your information was credible, while some was a bit shaky. You spoke a little fast and your eye contact could have used some work. When you first told me your topic, I was a little scared since it is controversial, but it was great to see the finished product. Good job.

ReplyDeleteI liked this speech more than the others. I was not nervous at all because it wasn't in front of anyone but myself. Recording it was a pain and kind of frustrating considering I hate watching myself when I play it back. I practiced three times and recorded it twice. My eye contact was just okay, but it could be better.
You made good use of pauses. You presented the topic really well, I'm biased, but you still would have convinced me! Keep up the good work!
DeleteI liked this speech Brooke. I could honestly go either way with the topic but you did convince me that I like to wear what I want to wear. You did a good job presenting this with good eye contact and pauses. Nice job.
DeleteBrooke I really enjoyed your speech. I enjoyed your grabbing intro. I also liked how you listed multiple "cons" to uniforms. It was very informative. I liked that you listed how much uniforms were on average. Overall well done
DeleteI really like your speech. This is a rather controversial topic, but you did a great job of presenting facts and statistics to back up your opinion. Eye contact was excellent. One thing that could be better was that you were very close to the camera. Due to this, I was unable to see any gestures. Besides that, I connected well to your speech. Well done!
DeleteYou covered a very appealing topic for the average high school student to watch. Especially once in high school, it is absolutely unacceptable to force a student to wear school uniforms. Think of it this way. A lot of people turn 18 before they even graduate high school and they are still restricted like that. I wouldn't always say that clothes express yourself that much because you cannot judge a book by its cover. You made a good point on how these uniforms just aren't fit for every person either, especially looking at their weight and height. I have a feeling that the reason that many schools enforce school uniforms, is because they just don't want to deal with all of the violations that students still make when they have more dressing freedoms, but this is not at all a reason for students to wear uniforms at school. You had really good eye contact and spoke at a good rate. It was overall a very well speech.
DeleteBrooke, I thought you did a good job on your speech. You made some good points and you really got your view across. Your background was nice and your eye contact was pretty good. Your voice was well paced and you didn't forget anything that you wanted to say. The camera may have been a little too close but otherwise I thought you had a pretty good speech that you got your point across in. Well done.
DeleteBrooke, I really liked this speech a lot. Coming from a grade school where uniforms were enforced, I completely agree with all of your statements. You made great use of your pauses by taking breaths here and there in your speech and that really helped bring your pace down to a good rate. Even though you did have to look down at your manuscript, I do think that your eye contact was good for being video taped. You mixed facts with opinions well. Great job, Brooke!

ReplyDeleteI actually didn't mind this speech to much. One, I wasn't as stressed out at the time of recording my speech. However, I felt like I sort of rushed my self throughout my speech. I think I could've worked on making my eye contact a little bit better. Overall, I thought this speech went okay.

DeleteDylan, I thought that your speech was very well put together. I felt like you had a lot of good information in there and a lot of things many people didn't know about. Also I felt like you knew what you were talking about because you seemed confident while talking. I felt that your eye contact was decent and I thought you stumbled on a couple of words, but overall it was a good speech. Well done.
DeleteDylan I liked your speech. It is a very important topic and I think you covered it well. A lot of info was added making it seem very trustworthy. I did see your eyes go off to probably a sheet of notes but you did a good job of coming back to the screen after and during reading the stats. Good job.
DeleteI think that this was your best speech so far. You spoke at a good volume and pace. Your topic was greatly relevant to today, as ISIS is a growing problem in the world. Eye contact was also excellent. Overall, great work!
DeleteDylan, I thought your topic was really great to touch on now, you reviewed what was going on today and why we are not containing them right now. You also gave the ways to defeat these ISIS powers. Your pace was really great and you didn't stutter during this speech, you knew what you wanted to say. You made pretty good eye contact and your background was pretty good. Well done on your speech.
DeleteDylan I thought that you picked a really interesting topic that is currently very controversial. There are a few things that could improve. First, I think that you should speak up a little bit because you were a little hard to hear, also I thought that there were a few too many pauses in your speech. Other than that I thought you did good, your pace was good and I thought that you had great points, overall good speech.

ReplyDeleteI did not enjoy this speech at all. I would much rather be in front of people, so that I can tell if the speech is going well, and then determine what direction to take it in. I just felt very unorganized and off the whole time. I did like the fact, that I was less nervous, but I still like to have an audience to see where the speech is going. All in all, I liked the idea and premise of this speech. Although, I would've rather done it in front of an audience.
Overall, nice job. I could connect to your topic well because I have had pet dogs my entire life! The intro was great and I loved the quote. Your eye contact was pretty good. There were a lot of pauses though. Overall, you did a nice job on this speech.
DeleteKrista, I liked your topic I think almost every single kid wanted a dog or some sort of animal. I like the facts that you presented and you used the information to connect to your audience. You did a good job controlling your voice and made good use of pauses. You made good eye contact and it did not look like you were reading that often. Overall, I think you did a really good job on this speech. Well done.

ReplyDeleteThis was probably my least favorite speach. Talking in front of a camera is a lot different than talking in front of the class. I messed up a couple times, more than I usually would in a speech to the class. I also wasn't looking at the camera the entire time because I was looking a my notes next to the camera.
Sam, I thought you had a very good speech and a great topic to talk about because it causes great controversy in today's society. I thought you seemed very confident while speaking and it seemed like you know a lot about your topic. Also you had good eye contact. The only downfall I felt that you had was that you were quite monotone. Otherwise it was a good speech. Well done.
DeleteSam, this was a good speech. I liked all the info you shared and how it has affected Americans. I do feel that the rules shouldn't be changed, but to be honest I do agree with the medical side of it. I've heard from a lot of good sources the medical usage of it is helpful. Nice job.
DeleteSam I thought your speech was very thorough and well thought out. You had a lot of good info to back your idea. I agree with what you said about that it should be legalized. I liked that you mentioned how the crime has gone done in Colorado. Over all well done.
DeletePersonally, I disagree with your speech topic, but your presentation was pretty good. Your eye contact was probably the best. Your pace and volume were good as well. One thing that was very distracting was that you were chewing gum. Other than that,your speech was god.
DeleteSam, I think you did a good job on presenting your view. I cannot say that I completely agree because it then gets hard to control what is out there because the government could issue a "safer" dose while a drug dealer could deal a dangerous dose for a cheaper price to keep customers coming back. Also, have you seen all the stupid things people do when they get drunk? It takes a few beers to get that going while one hit of marijuana can kick in at 5-10 min. tops. It gets harder to control what people do because they are not in their "right minds" this can cause problems for the general public that is not "high" because those who are don't think. It is quite frankly a safety risk. Although I do agree it does have some positives like medical marijuana, but even that needs to be overseen strictly to make sure others aren't using it for the wrong reasons. Now off the soap box and onto the feedback. You did a great job controlling your voice and showing a softer tone. You did a pretty good job with eye contact but I could tell that you were reading a bit. Otherwise I think you did a great job arguing your side of the argument. Nice job.

ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I didn't like this speech at all. I had to keep redoing it all the time because I became very annoyed with even the littlest mistake. But, I told myself that this was the last take and I seemed to do better. I feel like it doesn't look like I made a lot of eye contact and that's discouraging to me. I worked so hard with going over my speech, time and time again. I just couldn't win. Also, I feel like i couldn't really capture the audience's emotion like I would be able to by doing it live. Honestly, I felt more nervous for this speech than any speech I did in front of the class. I am a much harder critic on myself than my classmates are.
Randi, I have to admit I'm really bad at smiling. I'm a very happy optimistic person but my face doesn't always convey that well so I actually really enjoyed your video partly because of my personal experiences with always getting yelled at to smile more. You had a solid, slow pace throughout your whole video, which made it a little lengthy but I think it's better that you spoke slowly and clearly rather than rush through it just to make it shorter. Your filming angle made your gestures very strong. I liked how you tied in the facts on Americans and how we rarely have time off work and live unhealthy lifestyles, I honestly wasn't expecting this to be a topic that it'd be easy to find many facts on but you threw those in well. Lastly I thought your conclusion was very strong and wrapped it up well. How you progressed from our speech class to Martin Luther to Greendale and so on really drove the meaning of this speech home! Good job!
DeleteRandi, your speech was interesting. Your topic was out of the ordinary and debatable, but you did a pretty good job of backing it up. You had good facts and statistics. Eye contact was good as well. Overall, nice job!
DeleteRandi, you had a great topic. You showed lots of gestures and made great points. I think this was one of your best speeches because you actually slowed down and were understandable. It wasn't filled with facts which made it more personal. You did a great job changing your voice and sounding more comforting. Overall this was a really good speech. Keep it up.

ReplyDeleteI just realized that the speech did on the class and the speech did in the camera is two different feeling. I have a personality that I need everything to be perfect, but I can not do perfectly on this speech. I filmed this speech like 10 times, and every time had some mistakes. Finally, I gave up and told myself this is the last time. Because I was ran out my patient. Every speech is so important to me. I just realized that I am a beginner and have lots of things need to learn.

DeleteSharon, it was a little hard to hear you. From what I understood though, your English was really good. You made many good points and you had lots of good gestures. It did look like you were reading a lot but for your level of English you did really well, I know I couldn't do this well if I had to do it in Spanish. Overall, the comics were a nice touch and really added a lot to your speech. Nice job.
DeleteThis speech was by far my least favorite, I was constantly going off on tangents in other takes and I was having a hard time with the stress of having to make it perfect. I finally decided to just go with the one that looked the best. I made decent eye contact but I was reading at some points. I tried to get a gesture or two in but it is hard when there isn't much room for them. Overall this was not a great speech for me and the content wasn't even all that interesting in the first place.

Your speech had many good points to it to back up your statement on how life was better back then. Yes we have vaccines, but yes, they are definitely more of a risk than a benefit. Yes we are on our phones too much we have so many friends that we will never even meet in person. For me, I don't brag about the "amount of followers I have on Instagram" because I strictly only follow people that I do know face to face. I mean, why would I want to see pictures of someone that haven't or will never meet in person, it makes no sense. You also stated on how we text so much these days instead of face to face conversations, and not only that but you covered on how a text can be taken 400 different ways. It's all in the tone of voice it is said, but there is no tone of voice if it isn't being spoke, instead typed out. Overall, not only you made some very good points and covered them well, but you had the best eye contact and you spoke very fluently which made me understand and comprehend everything that you were saying.
DeleteThis speech was my least favorite of them all. I didn't like the recording and uploading thing due to it not being able to work on my sisters computer. When I recorded this speech I tried my best to have poise and to look nice. I thought my eye contact was overall well. There were times where I should've been looking at the webcam instead of in the distance. I tried to add many features but there wasn't much room or seeing space for them to show. Overall this speech wasn't so great but I thought my subject was a good topic.
