Concepts

There have been many helpful concepts in preparing for my speeches. I definitely like the speech buddy videos because instead of just being told what to do and how to say our speeches we were able to actually see it. That helped a lot I think because we were able to see what looks good when saying a speech as well as see what not to do in a speech. It also showed us the different ways to sat the speech. I remember one of the videos showed me how to incorporate visual aid into the speech and make it more smooth. I also like that we had many outline examples. It made it more enjoyable to do an outline knowing that I was doing it right! I was able to do it with ease as well as include everything that the teacher wanted in it. Lastly, the thing that helped in preparing the speeches I think were the mini speeches in between the major speeches. I like that particularly because I get extremely nervous going up in front of class and doing the little speeches in between helped me "face my fear" you could say. Just gave me more practice in front of the class.
