== Arrangement and Structure == Organize your self-reflection in three sections. # What do you think you did well? # What didn’t go as well as you had planned? # What will you do differently the next time you give a speech? In writing your self-analysis, please do not focus exclusively on your delivery (as is the tendency in such self-reflections). A speech is everything going on between you and that audience—physical behaviors are important, but are only one part of the much larger communication transaction. Think about how you are explaining your evidence to that audience, or how you are modulating your tone. Cite specific passages from your speech to support your critical claims. If you say that you had good transitions, provide an example of where you had a good transition. If you say that you needed more evidence, discuss a point that lacked sufficient evidence. Your paper should be written in paragraph form (not a bullet point response). You should actually analyze your speech; do not simply write a single sentence observation about each aspect of your speech. This is a unique opportunity to see your speech as others saw it. Don’t be too hard on yourself, but view this as another step in your ongoing improvement as a speaker.
