Necrotizing Faciitis

My second speech was an informative speech about a flesh eating bacteria that causes necrotizing faciitis. I chose this topic because it interested me when i heard about it in AP biology. WHen delivering my speech i seemed uneducated in the topic,unenthused and as if i did not care about the topic. I read a lot off of the note cards i had and it appeared that i had not done research.

Brown bag speech

I felt that my speech was not as bad as I thought it would be. I stayed somewhat calm and I did not get too nervous. Some things i need too improve on is saying "um",playing with my hair,better eye contact and speaking louder. In the beginning of my speech i said "um" multiple times which is a big "no no" when giving a speech. I was constantly playing with my hair during the entire speech which was probably distracting for the audience. My speech needed to be more natural,like I was talking to a friend. I just need to relax a little more.
