In this section, you will critique yourself in three different categories. First, discuss the impact of your introductions and conclusions. You may want to consider some of the following questions. In your introduction, did you provide a hook that made your audience want to listen? Did you establish structure/organization that allowed your audience to easily follow the rest of your speech? Did you end your conclusion on a strong note? Did you continue to keep the structure of the speech by providing an adequate review of key points?
Second, you should evaluate the body of your speech based on some of the following questions. Did your organizational pattern add to the impact of your speech? Were your points informative, clear, concise, and effective? Could you follow your citations? What kinds of supportive evidence did you incorporate? How could have this been improved?
Finally, review your delivery. How was your eye contact? Did you deliver an extemporaneous or a manuscript speech? Did you do anything that might have distracted the audience from your message? Did you use vocal variety, movement, and gestures to keep your audience alert? How could you improve in future speeches?

Incorporate the senses, tools such as alliteration, metaphor, simile etc. Consider concepts like connotative meaning and non-biased, inclusive language, etc. The goal is to recreate a section of your speech with carefully thought out, skillfully used language.
