Once you have recorded what you would consider your last take, it’s time to reflect on your overall experience from preparing the written elements, to practicing and presenting the speech. Be sure to review your speech submission and respond to the prompt below. You may add other thoughts as well. Students are not allowed to skip either item below. For example, a student may not disregard pointing out (2) positives because he or she does not feel there were (2) positives to discuss. The goal is to be positive and fully reflect on the experience as prompted.

Students should respond with an estimated 200 words. This should be a cohesive response. Do not answer each question individually. The questions are a guide for you to focus on while completing the reflection. Keep proper grammar and punctuation in mind. Most importantly, students should focus on goals for upcoming speeches/speaking.

When writing your reflection response, focus on the items below: 

• Did you feel prepared for this speech? How much time did you spend preparing for this speech? How many practice runs did you do?
• Do you feel your final product reflects the preparation and practice you put in? Why or why not?
• What strategies, tips, best practices, and techniques did you employ throughout the preparation, practice, and presentation process? Be specific. 
• Describe (2) or more positive aspects of your speech.
• Identify (2) areas you would like to improve on.                       
• What will you do similarly and what will you do differently when it comes to your preparation, practice, and presentation of your next speech?
