1. I liked working with a friend and finding out more information and cool stories about them.

2. It was hard to get in all the details that they told me about themselves.

3. I speech would have been a lot shorter and probably more boring if I just stated facts. Just stories would be fun and it would have made my speech more conversational. Just quotations would be almost pointless because it would be like trying to be the other person.

4. Teaching others about your person

5. Don't use as many verbal fillers, and practice ahead of time.

1. The easiest part was talking to my partner and getting facts, stories and quotes. This part was also my favorite. It was the most fun and interesting.

2. Adding transitions and organizing the facts, quotes, and stories to make them smooth was the most difficult part. It took some time and thought.

3. If we had to have just facts, I would try to make it a little more exciting because facts can get boring. If we had just stories, I would make it longer and more interesting because people usually like to hear stories. If it was just quotations I would talk to my partner a lot more because I wouldn't be able to add any of my own words to the speech.

4. I thought I tied everything together well and projected my voice better.

5. I aim to have better transitions and a better conclusion.

1. I thought that the easiest part of this speech was to think of facts for your partner. Most of the facts were things that I already knew and didn't even really have to ask to make sure they were accurate.

2. I thought the hardest part of the speech was trying to think of quotes from our partner concerning each area of focus. Most of the things were stories that they remember, so the I just used quotes from those.

3. If we would have just had to state facts, I think the story would be a little boring and flat. If we would have just had to tell stories, I think that the speech still would have been interesting because there are facts within each story. If we would have just had to say quotations, it would have been hard to really get going with the speech without adding your own comments. I think having all three of those really contributed to telling many things about our partner.

4. I think my strengths from this speech was keeping it conversational, keeping eye contact, telling descriptive stories, using good gestures, and using good transitions.

5. Next time I will work on not using the word "and" so much as a verbal filler. Instead, I will pause.

1. The part that I liked most about my speech was interviewing and finding interesting things about my partner because it was fun to learn more things about her.

2. The hardest part about this speech was finding enough information to talk in a three minute speech about your person, especially if they won't tell you much.

3. It would have been boring and not as interesting to listen to. Having these items made your story more diverse in the ways you told stuff.

4. I had good voice projection, good stories, ideas, quotes, and was fairly conversational.

5. My goals for next time is to be more prepared and not laugh when telling a joke or funny story.

I enjoyed giving the speech more than interviewing Sean. I think the best thing about my speech was that I knew a lot about Sean's life, but I wish I would have gotten more stories about him.

I will keep trying to work harder at preparing for my speeches!
