If I were to write this essay again I would focus more on having a driven direction and topic and focusing more on the structuring of the essay. Practicing more with quotes and having a better intro that better describes the essay. In general I think all areas could be improved without any specific area standing out as super good. What I thought I did fairly decently would be the time management and prioritization for the most part. I was able to finish the essay on time while studying for tests at the same time. In addition to that my works cited seems to have been done well.

What do you wish you could do all over again? Or take back?

If I were to present again I would focus on making the spoken word longer in order to reach a more appropriate duration. I would also focus on vocal and physical expression to pair with the spoken word.

What were your greatest concerns/obstacles and how did you overcome them?

My concern was coming up with a spoken word but I overcame that by using my narrative as my spoken word. I also had concerns with the length of my spoken word which, evidently, was left unresolved. In addition to that memorization but that was solved by practice and using my narrative which I was also fairly familiar with.
