I think that my speech is going good and I'm pleased with it, but I need to add a conclusion. I think that the writing and editing stage is enjoyable, because we get the opportunity to make our speeches great and perfect them before we actually present, for example what if you forgot to add your questions in your speech, but you never knew it until after you were done presenting your speech. I am really looking forward to finishing the writing and presenting and memorizing my speech, because I think that speech fest is a really big deal.We get to practice our public speaking, writing, and it only comes I think once every two years, so I am really excited!

I think my speech is coming along really well. I'm just going to rewrite it so other people can read it. It is a little stressful because I strongly dislike editing things. I am looking forward to finishing my speech, but I DO NOT want to present it. As Mrs. Van said; ' I would rather throw up and die.'

Hi! I just got home from ball hockey pictures! They went fast! Anyway, my speech i doing good, i have to add way more info because my time was 2:35 while talking slowly. I'm pleased with my speech because it is an interesting and maybe mind blowing topic! Ok, the writing stage is not stressful at ALL! But the editing stage is a little bit stressful for me because you finish writing your speech and then you have to change everything around because you forgot one bit of the criteria. Not like that happened to me because it didn't. Ok i really want to read and memorize my speech but I'm on an edge on presenting it because if you mess up on one thing you could get a bad grade or people might make fun of you, so i can present it in front of the class but ill be super nervous! Well, thats all i have to say! Got to go work on my speech now so ill see y'all tomorrow! Bye for now...

My speech is going great. I am really pleased with my speech, but I need to make my speech and conclusion bigger, better. I think the writing and the editing stage is really helpful because you get help from others, and you get make it even better. I am really excited for finishing my speech, memorizing it, and presenting it.

My speech is going very well. I am very pleased with it. But I don't know what to add to make it longer. I like writing my speech cause I don't like talking in front of a big crowd. I want to add more but I don't know what. See you all tomorrow bye!

So far my speech looks really good! I like the way it is, I am 99.9% sure that it follows all the criteria, and so far, so good. In general I am really pleased with it. I don't really have an answer for "is editing my speech stressful or enjoyable", because like everything has some parts that are good and parts that are bad. So far it has just been alright, and since we are close to finishing it up, I think everything is going to be pretty good. It was a little hard, to find a place for my third question, but that was about it. I hope I do a good job, because I like writing challenges, or competitive book clubs, and I know some people just want to get it over with, but I really hope I do well, and maybe become a finalist.

My speech is coming along well! I'm very pleased with it! I added a lot of descriptive language to make it more interesting. I don't think that the editing is that stressful for me at all!

I think my speech is going okay and the editing stage is enjoyable for me, I just need to add one more subtopic, and then I will be pretty much done. I added some descpritive language and I also have a bunch of questions. I have worked on my lead a bit more and I'm starting to really like it. I am looking forward to finishing but not so much with the presenting part. I am happy to be almost done though. See everyone tomorrow, bye!

i love my speech i think it's really good but most of my repeating words I couldn't find a easy to under stand other meaning. But I think it's pretty good excluding that.

My speech is over 2:00 minutes but I'm not sure what the exact time but ya. It is stressful for me because I'm worried I'll get it wrong or it be to short because I'm talking to fast! I am not looking forward to presenting it to the class because I'm shy and it's not that I don't like to talk in front of others it's just I'm worried about being judged getting a bad grade and looking stupid in front of others. I think my speech is going well but I'm worried it isn't long enough I'm worried for being judged I'm worried for having a wired speech topic! If I could present it in front of my friends I'd probably be fine.

My speech is going very well I think I am very pleased with my speech. The editing was a little bit stressful but over all I think it was enjoyable. I am looking forward to memorizing and presenting my speech but I am also a little bit nervous. See you all today.

I think my speech is going very good, all I need to do is get a good time and better conclusion. The video kind of helped me because it gave me a idea of what I could do. If I practice my speech over and over again I could be one of the people who go first. I might need to change some wording but that would be all. I am going to be starting my book talk soon and I'm very excited to present this book because I enjoy this novel so so much and I hope you'll enjoy it to after I present. See you all Today/Thursday! B-)

My speech is going amazing! I didn't have that much on it until yesterday when I perfected it and made the head very interesting. My conclusion is as strong as my opening! I feel I have used a ton of good words to prove my point. Well. Can't wait to speak out on my serious topic.😂
