I think, as a group, we had a very well-organized presentation. We worked well together, and made sure each member had an equal part of the speech that was just as important as the next. We practiced together beforehand to make sure the speech flowed smoothly from person to person and fixed whatever small issues we still had. We noticed that we were a bit under the time limit, and did our best to fill in the free time. I realized I probably contributed to that the most though, since I probably didn’t speak as long as everybody else. But overall, we had great teamwork and prepared very well. I also figured out my biggest problem-speaking too fast. When I gave the personal speech, I realized I was constantly jumbling my words and not thinking clearly about each point I was trying to make. This time around, I tried to speak slower, which definitely payed off for me. I was able to speak much more clearly, and taking my time actually made me less nervous. I will keep this in mind when I give the persuasive speech.
