Well guys, I must say, giving a speech is harder than it looks!
Went up there today, immediately my hands got numb, cold, and started quivering.. Weird, I know. Completely forgot my intro for a good 10 seconds (but I just acted like I was waiting for them to get ready to take some more notes hehe :D)
Also talked a bit quicker than I would've liked, but we had a strict time of 5 minutes, nothing over, no less than 4:30.
Hit right around the 4:45 mark..
My teacher randomly picked topics per day, starting Wednesday; so you never knew when you were going to go..
Anyways, I completely rewrote my entire speech because my original was just trash... Way too many statistics, not enough opinions, and not enough "tie-in"...
So, rewrote it, had it peer-edited by a person or two, and again by another friend who had my same teacher last year..
I missed some requirements, like an anaphora, or syllogism, but if I added them, I don't think it could've flowed as well..
Don't really need peer-edits anymore, C&C would be nice though.
