Strengths of my presentation:
 - I think I had spoken well aside from the pauses and stumbling of a few words
- Simple and short slides to help compliment my speaking
- Used good literary devices
- Gave detailed description of certain topics
- Had a good tone and rhythm so the audience can follow on

Improvement(s) to make for next time:

- Look at the cue card more to follow the original plan

- Try not to go off track
- Set a better limitation on how much I should speak on a certain topic/slide
