My group members for the group speech were Alex Potzner, Caitlyn Haller, and Shelby Welsh. I really had a great group experience, and I think my other group members would agree. When we first got together, it was pretty easy to narrow down our topic choices. We ended up not getting our first choice, but we did get the our second choice of the NAACP. We were very excited to start working on the speech, and we all decided to meet on a Wednesday. At our meeting, everyone came prepared and had good ideas how we wanted to present the speech, and also how to find good sources. Throughout the rest of the week leading up to the speech, we corresponded through our google docs and through text, and everyone was really easily …show more content…
In my group, there did need to be a certain level of commitment to really achieve the success that we all wanted. Each member in the group needed to committed to their part of the work, and the assignment in general. It was easy to see members in my group were committed, because they never gave up on the more challenging portions of the work, such as finding reliable sources or coming up with new ideas.

She did a very good job and getting her parts done, and finding many reliable sources. She was also very helpful of other’s parts, but I will say that she could pay just a bit more attention to how the flow of the speech works, so she knows when to come in. Shelby was always very positive and did fantastic work. Caitlyn was also a great group member to work with. I would also give Caitlyn a 9.5/10. She had some trouble deciding on which parts of her information she was going to say, so for awhile is was hard to know what to put in the outline. Her part was very challenging with all of the facts and statistics that she had to deal with, so I give
