Informative speech recording evaluation (3 paragraphs)

Just use the resource that I included to write the informative evaluation

Using the recording of your speech, follow the instructions provided below for critiquing your Informative Speech.

1) First, download the rubric that I will use to grade your speech. Grade your own speech. Attach the completed rubric with the grade you believe you earned.

2) Then, write a three paragraph essay, in which you evaluate your speech. In the first paragraph, address what you did well. In the second paragraph, identify what needs improvement. In the third paragraph, tell me what your plan is to improve in your next speech.

Include just a simple introductory sentence and conclusion sentence to set up and close out your paper (make sure you tell me which speech/topic you are discussing)

As you are reflecting on your speech, consider both the content of your message and your approach to delivery.

· When reflecting on the content of your message, consider such things as: the introduction, main points, supporting materials, transitions, and your conclusion.

· When reflecting on your delivery, consider things such as: portrayal of confidence, posture, movement, gestures, use of notes, voice, expressiveness, enthusiasm, audience connection, and use of podium and/or front of the room.

You can submit this assignment in the Text Box (click on "Write Submission") or upload a Word document from the "Browse my computer" button.
