Reflection.

Reflect:
Today, we have done our English Speaking and Listening assessment. Our characters were chosen by ourselves. The plot was that the plane was going to crash if we did not throw out 5 people. The character that I chose was Karen Woodward. She lives with her parents, whom are disabled. She runs 'Shopping for the Disabled'.

The learning intention for this task was - "I can effectively manipulate language to be
persuasive." I believed that, I was quite manipulative in my speech as I have used rhetorical devices in a persuasive speech. I was confident with my speech as I was quite prepared. Before this CA, I have never prepared for any of my previous Speaking and Listening CAs so, by preparing, I was able to score higher and reach for my goal. My goal originally was to try to get 15 marks but then as I went and continued talking, I've realised how I wasn't focused, I forgotten
words, I sort of waffled a bit on some parts so, I was hoping for 14 marks, and thankfully, I've gotten that mark.

Carlos was peer-assessing my work and the highlighted areas above on the rubrics are his thoughts on my grade. The only feedback he has given me was too use more body language to interact with the audience more.

I can say that I can evaluate the persuasiveness of fellow learner's speeches because at the end of everyone's speech, we all peer-assessed each other. By doing so, it enabled a better understanding on how persuasive their speeches were. This results to a better understanding how examiners will mark the work.

Overall, the task was helpful and I feel like I have successfully accomplished the learning intention and success criteria.
