Below please find an informative speech self-evaluation. This self-evaluation is similar to the evaluation your instructor will use to grade your informative speech.
It is helpful to review the grading criteria prior to presenting your speech (and even while you are developing your outline) to make sure that you include all of the required elements for a successful speech. It will also be necessary to complete this self-evaluation once your informative speech is complete as part of Assignment Four within Blackboard.
PDF Copy of self evaluation is at the bottom of the page.
