Part 2

How have you improved since the first speech? What would you like to improve on for the next one? How do you plan to do that?

I have improved by how I learned the best method of learning a speech which is studying it alot. I would like to improve my speech giving abilities by increasing eye contact between the audience and myself. I would also like to better memmorize my speech by possibly attempting to know and learn and say every word of my speech to the exact order. I plan on studying more so I can better learn my speech and I would focus on individually looking at the audience while presenting my speech. I also plan on making my notecards much more useful by using the words I know I will truely need.

Part 1

How did you learn your speech? Explain the best techniques you used to familiarize yourself with your speech. How did you practice? What successful tips can you share with the class?

I learned my speech my looking at it multiple times throughout the day while making my notecards to fully correspond with my speech. I said my spech to some friends and some family and this helps me familiarize my speech. I went through my speech many times and wrote down the keywords that helped me recognize a new sentence or a new paragraph in my speech. A successful I would like to share is that what you need to do is go through your speech atleast 3 times a day and look at your notecards to learn it. That is the best method of learning something.
