Here is a reflection on the Unit 1 Civic Artifact Speech:

I believe that I spoke clearly and with conviction, while still showing emotion and attempting to be conversational.  While I wish I spent more time revising my notes and not reading off the paper, I think that I did a solid job of creating a concise analysis, but we’ll see.  For the next time, I want to spend more time workshopping my speech and making it even more conversational.  I wish we had more time to talk in order to incorporate more in-depth analysis, and I also wish I was able to include more puns.  I appreciate the feedback from you guys, so thank you for your kind words and constructive criticism!

I’d also like to say that my group mates did a fantastic job on their speeches as well.  All three of you spoke clearly and incorporated a strong analysis, so good job!  I thought it was pretty cool that we all chose historical rhetoric pieces to use.
