Personally, I felt that this speech went significantly better than my first one. I was more comfortable with this topic and style, and I think that reflected in my delivery. I definitely think that my facial expressions and vocal inflections were better than the last speech, and I tried to incorporate hand movements, but I don’t think those were in the frame as much. I also think that my visuals made more sense and were more dynamic, when I watched my speech back, I wasn’t bored of the image on the screen and it made sense with what I was saying. I feel really good about this speech, even if there were still a few tiny mistakes here and there. 

For the History of a Controversy project I had two ideas, which are very different from each other. I either want to try to do Freedom of Speech or Minimum wage. Both have a lot of history behind them, meaning that they aren’t just recently occurring controversies, so my groups would have a lot to build on. Both also are related to how the actions of one group affects another; employees and employers, and how people use the free speech they have. I think both could be a good option for this project and deal with subjects that not only are relevant today, but also have been for a really long time.
