Introduction
This is a speech evaluation form that I have used in class.
The categories are distinct and applicable to any type of speech.
The grading system for this speech form is very easy, as teachers are better able to distinguish between an excellent speech, a good one, a fair one, or a poor one.
Also, there is a greater emphasis on overall form than on minor details of a grammatical nature.
This evaluation form is clear and easy to use.
