I used an effective and appropriate attention-getting device.
 I used resources that addressed the topic thoroughly.

A clear introduction was present.

 

 I maintained eye-contact most of the time.
I used vocabulary that the audience could understand, or I defined unfamiliar terms. I used material in accordance with copyright. A clear thesis statement was present in the introduction I spoke to the entire audience, not just one or two people.

My vocabulary was strong and unambiguous.		 I used resources that reflected different perspectives. The introduction included a statement of the main points.The audience could predict the presentation's basic structure from the introduction alone.
 My pronunciation was clear and easy to understand.
I used logical appeals where appropriate. I used credible print resources.

I organized ideas in a meaningful way.

 My rate of speech was not too fast or too slow. My volume was not too loud or too soft.
I used emotional or persuasive appeals where appropriate. I used credible Internet resources.

The body of the presentation contained support for the main points.

 

 My voice varied in pitch; it was not monotone
I used supportive details. I used interviews with others as a resource. Ideas flowed logically from one point to the next. My body language was not too relaxed or too tense.I maintained good posture.I didn't fidget, rock back and forth, or pace.
The information I gave was useful to others. Prominent resources were referred to in the speech. I used helpful transitions between main points (e.g.: 'First of all ...' or 'Similarly ...' etc). I used meaningful gestures.
The information and arguments were easy to follow.
A bibliography was available.		 I used logical connectors (e.g.: 'On the other hand ...' or 'Therefore ...' etc). I used notes sparingly; I did not read from them.I didn't hesitate or lose my place.
I stayed focused; I did not stray off my topic. I was able to answer questions from the audience. I included necessary background information. I used standard grammar.I didn't use filler words (uhm, uh, ah, mm, like).
I was well informed on my topic.   A strong conclusion was present. I didn't call attention to errors by apologizing.
