Speech No. & Type:

4 – How to Say It

Speech Title:

Lombok: the Better Bali

Speech Evaluation:

-          Good introduction, made everyone fell like we were there!

-          You used very specific words, as required by the project.

-          Your introduction was short, but effective.  But, we missed the smell!

-          You gave 3 ways to refer to the beech – this was nice, but a bit confusing. 

-          When you say something like “Forgotten Place”, use hand signals to show quotes.

-          You did use your notes a couple of times – you had a noticeable pause – it seemed like you were looking where you were.

6 – Vocal Variety

Speech Title:

The Hare and The Tortoise

Speech Evaluation:
