Slide Show Speech

For the slide show speech, I decided that my topic should be surfing. I think that I chose surfing because I am really interested in it. Surfing is also a topic that could grab the interest of the listener, and I think that my speech did that. when we were told to make a slide show, I immediately thought of how much I hate putting words on the slides. I hate this so much because I always read from the slides. After I found out that words were not a necessity, I knew exactly what i wanted to do. I loved the way my slide show looked at the end, I liked it much more then my speech.

I could have done better on my speech. I don't know why, but for some reason I skipped over a lot of things that I wrote down and I didn't have a very long speech because of that. Honestly, I probably could have done that speech without writing down anything, but I was scared that I wouldn't be able to, so I needed that security blanket. Another thing that would have made my speech better was an ending... it didn't have one.
