Speech - persuasive writing

My Reflection
I was learning to write, plan and present a persuasive speech.

My success criteria were to not laugh jeering my speech. I have an introduction, conclusion, and three paragraphs each giving a reason to support my main argument. each of my paragraphs are at least three sentences long - I have researched and included facts to back up my argument - I speak loudly and clearly to my audience. my speech is between 2 and 3 minutes long.

         

I think I achieved my success criteria because I did everything absolutely right.                    

Next time I write or present a speech I will need to work on not be shy and laughing in my speech.

I think I did well at writing my speech.
