Self Assessment – writing targets
Target Mark Comment
Write with appropriate structure and organization.
1 2 3 4 5
I think I organized it very well because I tried my very best to get everything done. But I messed up because I had lots of things to do and couldn’t practice a lot.
Use quality openings
1 2 3 4 5
I used a lot of rhetorical question for my openings and it sounded better than the opening I‘ve written before.
Use paragraphs effectively
1 2 3 4 5
I think I used my paragraphs effectively because the paragraphs reminded me take a calm breath after each paragraphs.
Write with detail 1 2 3 4 5
I wrote as much detailed I could with what I have done with my research.
Set out arguments and draw them to a conclusion effectively
1 2 3 4 5
I think I have my arguments organized so people could understand it a little more easily.
Self Assessment – Questionnaire 1. In what way(s) do you think you could
have improved the delivery of your speech?
I think I should have slowed down a little bit more and learnt more words. I also should have spoke more clearly and louder.
2. After watching everyone’s speech, what were some things that stood out in your mind?
I should have put more emotion in my speech. I should also have put action into my speech.
3. How did you prepare for the speech?I practiced as much as I could at home even though I had GECKO
math and didn’t publish in time, I tried my best. I also surveyed 140 people in my speech to get my information.
Self Assessment - Questionnaire
4. What were two things that you think were ‘fantastic’ about your speech?
The two things I think were ‘fantastic’ are the writing and the effort that I put in. The second reason is I put in as much as I could with my detail.
5. How do you feel about giving speeches?
I felt a little nervous at first but then I got used to it and didn’t feel that I was going to mess up that much. The next time I give speeches I should relax and calm down when I am talking.
