Critiquing our Informative Speech

We have completed our informative speeches. It was our first speech. It is difficult sometimes for students with the first speech to orient themselves to thinking about communication as a process. We need to move past just "getting up" and apply the content and delivery criteria addressed in class for effective communication. Please work on the suggested areas of improvement in the next speech. Post your critique in this blog post. Be sure to include the speaker's first name in the comment. You need to give three strengths and three improvements. I am not interested in reading superficial comments. Please use depth in your comments. You are required to give your assigned speaker thoughtful suggestions on how to improve the needed weakness or improvements in their presentaion. Unsupported comments or those comments lacking details will receive a zero or a deduction in points for this assignment.
