Gabe assessed his Year 6 speech and identified areas for improvement. He felt his opening was strong but his conclusion was weak by abruptly transitioning to it. While he structured it with paragraphs as instructed, he did not include all requested words. He recognized not practicing enough led to being frightened and missing parts during the presentation. The writing and second paragraph were the best elements, but delivering the speech overall made him feel it was a bad experience due to pausing for long periods.
