Round 2 Speech: Informative (short)
For this speech to be successful I knew I needed to pick a topic that I was passionate about and was eager to learn more about. I found that Group B Rally Racing was just that. As I mentioned in my previous blog post, cars have always interested me and are something I love; so doing research about some of the most legendary cars to be built and raced in was no problem. In this speech I learned a lot about this era of rally racing and couldn't wait to tell my classmates about it. I think the speech went well, but I had a lot to say so at times I was speaking a bit too quickly. Also the conclusion of my speech was slightly abrupt and could have been formulated better. For the next speech I'll make sure to only cover a reasonable amount of information in and not try to cram in everything as well as making sure I have a solid conclusion. Things I thought went well were the images as well as the GIF of how a turbo works. Also, using a video as sort of an introduction and hook I felt worked to my advantage. Overall this was my favorite speech yet because doing the research for it was fun and didn't feel like work.

Round 2 Speech: How To
This speech excited me because I was able to present about something that really excites me. I decided to present on how to change the oil in your car. Cars have been a big part of my life since a very young age, and maintaining them is a crucial part. For this speech I drove home and changed the oil with my dad and documented the steps. I think that doing this added a personal touch to the speech and made it much easier to present about after actually doing it. As far as the actual presentation went, I felt like it went well and I was much more comfortable. This resulted in me not shifting while presenting and talking more fluidly. For the next speech I am going to try and use better word choice. In this one I found myself using filler words more frequently and could have chosen better words to describe the process. This could have been solved by practicing the speech more which I will do for the next one.
