Speech 2 Reflection- Chapter 9
On Monday March 2, 2009, I participated in my first group speech of the class. I was very interesting to work with a group of people who were totally different. When we were up in front of the class we were still not 100% prepared and did not know what to expect. We had a short chapter and we were trying to fluff up our individual parts of the speech to make the time. We still did not make it. We learned a lot from our first time. We know what we need to change for our next speech to be better prepared and get a higher grade.
From my view I feel that having note cards in my hands are very distracting so I decided to use the PowerPoint as my guidance. That did not work the way i planned. I felt that I did not have as much eye contact and it looked like I didn’t know what i was talking about. I’m working on how to balance note cards as well as a PowerPoint presentation. I feel that the next time I have to speak i will be even better than I was in my first two speeches.
