I would have to say that out of all of our speeches, I probably liked the informative speech the best. At least, that is the speech I felt best about. I am a huge nutrition geek and I felt really confident getting up there and talking about Paleo Nutrition. I also actually really liked having the power point up there, because it was almost like speaking with a friend up there. A non-verbal, two-dimensional and very colorful friend. And even though the informative speech involved a lot of work researching and putting everything together, in the end that made me feel even more confident about my topic. Which just does to show that you get out of it what you put into it, right?
Actually, the more I think about it I realize that the persuasive speech is up there too. I had a lot of fun with that topic. (How could you not, with a subject like play?) but I think the informative speech wins, just because I had a lot of stress going on while I was preparing the persuasive speech. But both topics were well researched, had power points, and were fun to talk about.
As "enjoyable" as they were, I am certainly glad to have them all over with. :)
Defnitely happy to have all the speeches over with! I totally agree with you about the power points being there with us. I would almost go as far as to say they were a bit of a safety net. I seemed to lean on them when I was up there, if I got lost or nervous. Next time when I have to speak with a power point I'm hoping to be a little more confident. I liked the tribute speeches the best. They seemed to come from the heart and it was great to see people speak about their loved ones.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the Powerpoint was nice to have up front! It's kind of like having a set of electronic notes that stay in order instead of getting all jumbled up like the notecards did. There was a few times that my PowerPoint saved me from skipping over a main point that I had, in both the informative speech and the persuasive speech. I think that the second reason that the informative speech was my favorite was because of the PowerPoint presentation that we were allowed to use. Just knowing that I had the PowerPoint behind me seemed to calm my nerves down a bit as well.
