Persuasive speech

For the last speech of the year I think I would give myself an eight out of ten. Personally I think I improved on a lot of the things that I wanted to fix after seeing my self introduction speech such as the hand gestures and the jumpiness. But while attempting to fix these problems I feel like another one arose, a note card reading problem. While preparing my note cards for the speech I came up with a set that had basic outlines of what the section I wanted to say, however when I practiced with these the speech didn't flow like I wanted it to. Coming up on the speech I decided to write down the entire outline on my note cards. Practicing before my speech I wanted to keep eye contact over 80% of the time. But when I actually gave the speech my eye contact seemed to significantly drop. So for next time I think it would be wise to either run it even more with the outlines of the sentences or if I choose to go the same route involving writing out the entire sentence on my note cards, work on keeping eye contact as much as possible. Other than a couple of fumbles I also think that clarity and tone went well too.
