After doing my two dry runs I feel a lot better about my speech. Before, I was nervous because I usually always am when I have to give a “speech” in front of people. But doing the dry run with groups of 3 definitely made me feel more comfortable about presenting next week. When reflecting back on my dry runs, I realized that I am very close and/or over the time limit. This was confusing to me because I thought that I would be just over three minutes based on reading to myself, but when I was in my small groups for practice I was at 5 minutes on average. This means that I am going to have to cut some things out in my speech because I still need to add my video to my presentation. I am going to cut out the stages of clay because it isn’t essential to know for this presentation. After watching my dry runs, I am happy with the organization of my speech, I think it flows and transitions very nicely. However, I would like to work on using fewer filler words and avoid looking at my paper when I am “bored”– I clearly know what I am talking about but when I am talking to people I usually look away after a long period of eye contact.
