Make sure to establish your own credibility at the beginning of your speech. In addition, let the audience know how the topic can be important and valuable to them.What EXACTLY do you expect your audience to gain from listening to the speech.

I fear that many of the students will look at this activity as "just something that Samuel does" but is really unrelated to their own lives. To capture their interest, you need to move this activity into the "wow, there are a lot of principles I should be aware of" category. I don't think you do this well at the beginning of the speech. Instead it looks like you introduce the topic by telling the audience that you are going to give them long descriptions of a long list of topics.

Maybe a better approach will be to frame your speech in this manner: How participation in the Model UN provides you important life skills.

Where are your references?

10/28 11/4 Speech Evaluation

Speaker: Lydia Topic: Shock Relieving

I think the topic is rather interesting. She used the powerpoint slides as her visual aids, which was really good. However, I was a little lost when she was explaining the process since it was a very intricate process. Apart from that, I think she could improve on her intonation and her articulation of words and sentences in order to capture people's attention. Some of her pronunciation should be improved as well.

Speaker : Anne Topic: Multiple Births

I really enjoyed this speech a lot. Her usage of powerpoint slide was excellent, showing a flawless connection between her speech and her powerpoint slides. She also had a really good stage control, not nervous in her speech. Her entire speech was flowed really well, easy for the audience to grasp her points. The only thing I'd like to suggest her is the introduction that was way too long before she hit her main idea.
