Monday (September 16th) my public speaking class was assigned to prepare a speech on a skill that we have. I had thought about my skill and prepared an outline. Walking into class I was generally on track for my speech about skill. I had finished a draft of my outline and I thought I knew what I wanted to do for my prop, therefore all that needed to be done was practice. I thought that I was on track to present by the due date, but I was mistakenly wrong. As we were working in class, I realized that the prop was not something that could be done within the classroom. With the help of my classmates I was able to figure it out. My classmates had recommended that I make a video, which will eliminate any possible safety concerns to my presentation. I believe that now I am ready for my presentation. My next steps would be preparing for a video for the class, that way I do not burn down the classroom. Then, what I can do is bring the final product or the equipment needed for the skill. By the time I present I should have my outline, props, and video figured out. That way when the time comes, my presentation will flow smoothly, without any hiccups. I hope that my presentation will go as successful as I hope.
