    • The general purpose of the speech was clear.

    The general purpose of my speech was to let the audience know what are the basics of Hip-Hop music. I think my general purpose of the speech was pretty much clear.

    • The specific purpose of the speech was clear.

    I explained the audiences the basics of Hip-Hop music by firstly talking about the definition of Hip-Hop and Hip-Hop music. Then I moved on by dealing with the 4 core elements of Hip-Hop music, and gave examples about them. I thought the specific purpose was also clear.

    • The speech organization supported the speech's specific purpose.

    In my opinion, the organization of my speech was pretty much organized. I had my introduction, body, and conclusion.

    • The main points and supporting material contributed to the speech's specific purpose.

    At first, I thought I my supporting material was good enough to help the listeners to understand the main points of my speech. However, as I reviewed my speech again at home, I found out that there were too many words in my PPT. I wish I could have had a better supporting material by shortening the words in the slides.

    • The beginning, body and conclusion reinforced the specific purpose.

    I think the conclusion would have been better if I put something in the end of my PPT which could summarize the whole speech. I somewhat finished my speech hastily.

    • The speaker achieved the specific purpose.

    The reason why I chose this topic was because Hip-Hop music is considered as a big trend these days. This made lots of people get interested in this music genre, so I wanted to explain the basics of Hip-Hop music to help them understand the music. I think I put all the basics of Hip-Hop music in my presentation, so I hope it helped many people know more about the music.

    • The speaker appeared confident and sincere, with minimal nervousness.

    I tried not to be nervous in front of the camera and the audience as best as I could, but I think it was not perfect as I sometimes had short pauses in my speech.

    • The speaker did not rely on notes throughout the speech.

    I memorized my speech, so I did not rely on notes.

    • What could the speaker have done differently to make the speech more effective?

    I could have added more pictures or other kinds of materials to help the audience more to understand my speech. Also, it would have been better if I did not tangle my words sometimes in my speech.

    • What did you like about the presentation?

    I liked the choice of my speech topic as I am extremely interested in Hip-Hop music and these days Hip-Hop is a big trend. Also, I think my voice was loud enough for the audiences to hear without problem.

    • The beginning, body and conclusion reinforced the specific purpose. 1
    He began the speech by asking the audience a question and talking about popular hip hop TV shows like Show me the Money and Unpretty Rapstar which caught my interest. The body part consists of the definition of hip hop, short origin of where hip hop came from and the core elements that constitute hip hop music. At the very end, he wraps everything up and says that he hope that we’re rapstars.

    • The speaker achieved the specific purpose. 2
    The lecture was very easy to understand and very clear. Like he mentioned at the beginning and the end, I don’t know if I can be a rapstar by just listening to his speech but I think I can easily grab anyone in the street and tell them about the basic elements that make hip hop music.

    • The speaker appeared confident and sincere, with minimal nervousness. 1
    Even just by hearing his voice, he seemed very confident. He had proper eye contact with the audience and even made hand gestures that made him seem not at all bothered in giving a speech in front of people.

    He didn’t have his script with him and seemed to have memorized everything. Overall, his eye contact with the audience was very good.

    • What could the speaker have done differently to make the speech more effective?
    I think he did very well. Maybe if he didn't use long texts in his PPT, it would be perfect.

    • What did you like about the presentation?
    I really liked his topic of hip hop because I was recently into watching Show me the Money and Unpretty Rapstar. Although I can’t rap, I could totally connect with what he was saying like the punch lines. I liked the examples that he used for the punchlines. It was witty.
