COM 104 - Self Evaluation

Persuasive Speech Self Evaluation

Below please find a persuasive speech self-evaluation. This self-evaluation is similar to the evaluation your instructor will use to grade your persuasive 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 persuasive speech is complete as part of Assignment Eight within Blackboard.
