I would like to say thank you to Zainab. I was someone who used to be nervous in front of a class when I had to speak because I always feared being judged by the people listening to me. It was kinda scary the first couple of speeches, but after each speech, I became more and more comfortable with the class. Zainab is one person in particular that has made me feel comfortable with the class. Whenever I am talking,…

Overall, I had a fun time making speech 4 and I felt like I was able to connect better with my classmates because of the assigned group. Throughout the entire speech, I was pleased with how well my group worked together and we were always on top of getting things done. We were always very organized with getting our outline done early, picking out our background image, and assigning roles not just for who plays what– but who does what…
I think our dry run went very well. We have had a pretty solid outline for the last week or so, and being able to actually read from it showed us where we want to improve and what is working. For example, reading our script out loud made us realize how we need to cut back on some questions because our dry run was 6:20– we need time for intro and outro clips and I’m afraid we will go over…
After watching my group’s dry dry run, I think we have a pretty solid outline and script for what we have planned. We met prior to the dry dry run and all agreed on what we wanted to do. I think we definitely need to set our plans more into stone but overall it is going pretty well. I like the idea of the game we are doing, but we might move the chronological order of our show to put…
Since the last class, I have worked on brainstorming for speech 4. We have a very rough outline of how we want the talk show to go. We kind of have an order of events in which we are going to do the show. I have brainstormed some questions to interview Mackenzie and Andrew– I will be the host and they will be the guests. So far, I think Speech 4 is going to be a fun project and I’m…
I definitely feel like Speech 3 was my best speech yet and I’m so happy about that. Before all my speeches, I get very nervous and my sympathetic nervous system goes off like crazy. However, for this speech, I was able to calm down A LOT faster than I used to and from my point of view, I thought I slowed down my talking a lot more and didn’t think my voice was shaky like it normally would be. After…
After watching my 2 dry runs for journal 3, I would definitely like to work on memorization with my speech. I had to look at my outline a lot more than I would have liked and think I can improve this through rehearsals. Another thing I noted when watching my dry runs was that I was very fidgety. My movements didn’t have anything to do with my speech and I think I was just moving around to get rid of…
As we are approaching the dry runs, I feel like I have a really good outline done. I would definitely like to polish it up after dry runs but I know I have a stable foundation now. I definitely need to go over my speech and rehearse a lot more; I feel like I haven’t had enough time to write and rehearse this speech as I did last speech. The topic of this speech, I’m hoping, is going to be…
I am thinking of doing a toast to my mom. So far, I have her strengths, what I’ve learned from her, what I want others to know, and a quick comical anecdote that I will be talking about. coming up with the anecdote was hard at first because I had no idea which memory to pick, but as I was writing my speech one came to mind that would fit in as an example to one of my body paragraphs.
