Oral Communication

Video Self-Evaluation
Review the videotape of your speech. As you watch, answer the following questions. 1. How did you try to get the audiences attention? How effective was it?

I ask the boy do you want to impress a girl, and for girls, do you want to make yourself look gorgeous?
2. Did you clearly communicate your purpose (e.g. I am going to inform/convince you about/to)? How did you motivate your audience to listen to you?

Yes, I told everyone that I am going to teach all of you the three different types of hair style. I convince the boys that girls would be amazed by guys who can braid a girl's hair, and girl can be prettier.
3. How was your speech organized? How clearly/logically did it progress? Could I stop paying attention to you and read your outline instead and still follow along easily?

4.

I first introduce the material we need, secondly the three types of hair style, and lastly the alternatives.

What were some of the transition words you used in your speech? Did you clearly indicate movement from one part of your speech to another? Why/why not?

This time I didn't use that much transitional words, I just followed each steps in order.
5. Explain why your main points were/were not clearly presented.

I think I did clearly presented my main point. My main points were those three types of hair braiding style.
6. Evaluate your conclusion. Did it connect seamlessly with the introduction and body? Did you give a clear sense of ending?

I believe that I did connect well my conclusion to my introduction. I said next time, when you see your friend's hair you can go ahead and braid their hair.
7. Evaluate your delivery. Were you loud enough/clear enough/energetic enough/varying your tone enough/connecting to your whole audience enough?

I think this time although he video camera was farther from usual, I still can heard my voice kind of clearly.

8.

How did your use of voice, gestures, and bodily action enhance (or detract) from the message of your speech? What will you do to enhance the message of your speaking opportunities?

I actually skip the gestures this time, because I spent most of the time demonstrating my speech, and braiding hair.
9. Did you appear sincerely interested and enthusiastic in the topic (your classmate) and in your talking with your audience? What did your body language and eye contact say to your audience? Give examples to support your answers.

Yes, because even when I was young, I enjoyed braiding barbie's hair. I am fond of beading girl's hair.
10. Evaluate the overall success of this speech. What grade (A-F) would you assign this presentation? Why?

This time I would grade myself B+, I think my previous speeches are better.
11. Describe what you have learned from this speaking opportunity, and how you will use this information in the future.

I learned that it is difficult to talk while demonstrating the topic. It does need to prepare and practice the speech, otherwise there will be a silence period that make everyone feels awkward.
12. What did you learn from this presentation that will help you prepare your future speech? List at least three things that you plan on working on. (To just practice is not a specific step exactly how will you practice?) a.

It is important to keep the main points organized.

b.

Give more tension getters so that people are listening for sure.
c.

Get familiar with the project that we are going to demonstrate.

13. Describe, in detail, the areas you will improve your public speaking and exactly how you will improve. Include a variety of specific steps you will take to improve your public speaking skills.

Practice the steps more---> make sure that I know what should I say while demonstrating----> be aware that the speech is within 4-6 minutes.
