Practice makes Perfect...or at least a little bit better

In my first run of my speech with Richard, I felt as though it went poorly, but served to provide constructive criticism, and help me realize what I need to fix. At times it felt as though I was too long winded, and did not stick to my point. For example, the part when I was talking about the power model and economic theory was too in-depth and did not strengthen my argument any. The part that played well with my partner was my introduction and how the minimum wage applies to us as teenagers. Also how the problem of a low minimum wage effects adults much more than it does teenagers. To fix some of the problems with my speech, I will delete a few portions on economic theory, and stick to the most relevant facts that I can find. I will shorten up the length, and try to substantiate my counter-arguments more adeptly. To do so, I will need to use facts that show the discrepancies in what one side believes, and what the other side believes.
