Provide specific examples from your speech to back up your judgments! *RULE OF THUMB: 1 PARAGRAPH = 7 SENTENCES* (1) Content – How well did you explain and show your topic? Were the number & quality of your source citations sufficient? Did your content appear to be new or familiar information to your audience? Explain why. (2) Organization – Did the speech flow smoothly from introduction to conclusion? Were your main points organized using just one specific Organizational Pattern? Did you feel your topic was appropriately focused, or too broad? Explain why. (3) Delivery – How did you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally while presenting?

Content – I do believe that I was able to explain my topic well. I was able to provide my own experience and connect it with the audience every day’s life. The quality of citations was sufficient. Unfortunately, I only did three instead of four. I have realized it too late. I don’t know how I missed that part. I need to pay more attention next time. The information I have provided to my audience was somewhat new to some extent because our group’s age varies, but I was able to offer simple steps that might be beneficial to all. Organization – I followed all the steps and was able to transition my speech in the right direction, I believe. So it would make sense. I did use the order to make it sound right and not confusing for the audience.
