 PERSUASIVE SPEECH SELF CRITIQUE ASSIGNMENT

Answer the following questions, in separate paragraphs, in a 2-3 page typed essay: 

1)  This class is about public speaking, and we have mostly exercised our public speaking skills in a classroom context. However, public speaking, and communication in general, are skills that affect your life outside of the classroom as well. Throughout the class, you’ve been asked to speak about yourself in a creative and engaging way, speak about a community to which you belong in ways that informed the audience and made the topic relevant to them, speak about an issue that is important to you in order to persuade people, and think about the ethics of public speaking. How has studying communication this semester affected you as a: 1) public speaker, 2) student in general, and 3) citizen/community member?

2)  You have been asked over the course of the semester to critically evaluate yourself and your classmates. Remember your most recent speech in comparison with the previous ones. How have you improved over the course of the semester? Specifically, revisit the goals you listed from your previous self-critiques. Which goals have you met? How did you meet them? Remember how you felt about public speaking at the beginning of the semester and your level of speaking anxiety. How has this changed now that you are at the end of the class? How are you better equipped to deal with the process of public speaking and/or speaking anxiety? red color

3)  Finally, write about your future. What goals, given what you have written about in the previous questions, do you have for your public speaking skills in the future? What are the major concepts/themes/ideas/lessons you are going to take away from this class that will help you fulfill those goals?

Your essay should show critical and deep thought. Make sure to use specific examples when necessary. Also, using concepts from class may help clarify your answers. Again, be honest and thoughtful with your responses and you will be successful.
