Speech Growth
This entire quarter we have been working on oral presentations and becoming better speakers. I have deffinetly improved my speaking technics in both tone quality and hand gestures. My eye contact has improved, but sometimes I struggle with not just reading right off my power point. Also, my hooks could always be better and I should also work on memorization. Overall, I am glad that we worked on public speaking, and I have learned alot about oral presentattions which will help me to be more prepared for life after college.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Speech:
My how to speech on learning how to drive a manual transmission went pretty well. My topic gave me plenty of things to talk about, so time was not a problem at all. I made eye contact with everyone in the room, and maintained eye contact throughout my speech. Also, I feel that I did well with my enthusiasm and kept with my own personality while speaking.
One thing I could improve on is my actual explaination of the topic. I need to practice more on explaining, and not just assume that people know what I'm talking about. But otherwise I think I did pretty well on my speech. This speech was fun because I was allowed to talk about and explain something that I really enjoy, driving a manual transmission.

Informative Speech
My informative speech was about Habitat for Humanity. Overall, I thought I did well; I used hand gestures and maintained eye contact for the majority of my speech. I could have paid better attention to the people on the edges of the room, but overall, I thought I did well. One thing I could have dont to improve my speech was to have more pictures of the houses that Habitat builds. I only brought in one picture, and my presentation as a whole would have been stronger if I had more visuals. The informative sppech was fun because it allowed me to talk about something I enjoy, Habitat for Humanity.

Brown Bag Speech Journal:
My brown bag speech was decent for the first speech of the semester. I could have had better posture, and shown my items up better. I was hard to understand at some points, studdering over myself and forgetting what I was going to say next. I actually thought I did well with enthusiasm and explaining how I felt about my topics. I was incredibly nervous and my voice was very shaky as well. Overall though, I thought my speech went well, although this is always more to improve on.
