Activities

• Watch the recordings your peers have submitted and give them feedback using the criteria you decided on in weeks 1 and 6 but also taking into consideration what else you have learnt about performing a speech throughout the course so far. 
• Submit your feedback by Tuesday evening.
• Look over the feedback your peers have given you. How can you improve your text and the way you deliver your speech?
• During our synchronous online tutorial on Thursday, each one of you will present an improved version of your speech. These will be assessed. You can find more information as well as the marking criteria here on Moodle under 'Assessment 1: Speech'.
