Videos: 9.1, 9.2, 13.1A, 13.1B and "Use It" 13.1

In the first video, 9.1, when the speaker had started her introduction by taking a picture of the class, it reminded me of my speech. I was going to do the exact same introduction. Once I got up there, I had changed my mind. Anyways though, the videos were super helpful. In the video 9.2 Evan explained how having a solid conclusion is important in speeches. I forgot to provide a closure to my speech, because I panicked when I saw that I had already taken up five minutes. That was my mistake, so for the next two speeches I'm going to have to remember to add that.
As for video 13.1A, I like how Evan speaks very fluently and clearly. He clearly presents his transitions and makes it very clear of what he's trying to explain about techno. His slide also went well with his speech. The way he incorporated his speech and the slide is very smooth.
In the video 13.1B, Janine delivered her speech very smoothly also. Once she pulled out her notes for that quote, I noticed that she did not use her note cards barely at all. This shows how practice is very important in part of delivering a well speech.
As for the "use it" video, I think that Katherine is speaking too quick. This may be just because she's nervous, but clearly she is experiencing some anxiety. Another factor that I've noticed is that she stumbles upon her words quite a few times. She also is focusing a lot of her note cards.
All of these features, positive and negative, are the skills that I've learned to integrate or to watch out on for my own speech. Remembering to speak slowly and clearly is important while giving a speech. Even if I were to take a look at my note card, it won't look as if I am forgetting my speech completely. Whereas, the way Katherine is viewing her note cards, it just makes it looks like she didn't practice much at all.
