the reflection on my speech

  1. what were my goals?  
  2. My goal of the speech was to show my improvement on speaking such as fluency of speaking and organization on my speaking.
  3. what skills did I use ?
  4. I used eye contact to show audience that I am speaking to you. To manage this skill I have to use slide and memorising what to say well. As usual, when I go front of the class, I would be nervous and I am not able to remember what I should say. Therefore, the slides helped me in this field.
  5. How did I meant my goal? How successful was I?
  6. To achieve  my goal I had to practice before the speech and make an organized slide.                   I hope that I was successful on eye contact. there is no reading or dropping of my eyes during my speech.
  7. Goal of next activity
  8. For the next speech I want to improve on my pronunciation like "r" and "l." Also I hope I will be more cofident on my english speaking skills.

    Reading journal
    I watched the very first part of movie and at that part 5 characters are appeared Katniss, Mom, Gale, Prim and Effie. Although the plot had not developed, I could understand how the hunger games is terrible. Nobody is happy to be drawn a lot and prim was frightened on her first lot. 
    I also learnt the difference of strength between district 12 and Capitol, People in each place were wearing different cloth and I thought Caputol has more technology.
    I felt that I want to see further more.
