The speaker I chose to critique is a student giving a persuasive speech over bulling. The girl‚ Stephi‚ starts off strong by looking at the audience and giving a startling fact. She also speaks very clearly and projects so that everyone will hear her. She uses visual aids to show what she is saying‚ and it may leave a bigger impact. Stephi also gives a preview of her speech in the introduction and uses transition statements. Then to introduce the first point of her speech she returned to two questions

The Shackled Pen While I may only be 18 years old‚ federal laws have silenced me since 1988.
