jackiemarie90 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I changed the subject of the speech from the Prison Industrial complex to the Medical Industrial complex because I was reading the grading rubric and saw she gave more points if the topic was more relatable. Anyways spent a good half of the speech stumbling on the intro, lost track of time, had to rush the rest in about 4 minutes going over the limit. But I guess I get points for participating early right? >.> Oh mah gawd then the classmates are supposed to anonymously critique you, and the teachers gives us these critiques later. These 18 year old bitches gave me 6/10!!! My ghetto ass almost wanted to shout "EH! WHO GRADED ME LIKE THIS?!?!" But I didn't. =| Oh well at least it's done with now I'm gonna take an edible and drink alcohol. Edited March 10, 2018 by jackiemarie90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Their critiques do not mean that's the score you'll get. In fact, he might actually be grading the critiques to see how much they understand about critiquing. Or it could be about seeing how people react to being critiqued by their peers (fyi - this will happen in the workplace too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not the score I got, probably close to a high B, I didn't have a great visual aid, but people said I did seem passionate about the subject. Teacher isn't grading critiques, but she is grading out outlines, and I think my shines way more than the words that could ever come out of my mouth. lol I remember retail critiques, tough crowd lol.

crackymckrackin Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) You should record yourself giving your speeches before you go in front of the crowd. You can watch and see your strong points and the weaker points. It also helps doing it in front of friends or family, hell even a stranger would work. Practice makes better.

The thing about school is it sets up this precedent of heavily future oriented thinking. Right now is the only time we have to enjoy life and work hard, hippie b.s. etc, etc,.

It's an old-school technique, and a very effective one. Basically, you practice until you speak in a natural cadence of threes. For example, "Read my lips... No new taxes..." If you are really dedicated, you will learn to speak in a natural rhythm of threes. It takes work though. The reason why is rather simple, the human mind, for whatever reason, responds to a cadence of three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
