Presentation Verbal Style

Excellent:
My sentence structure was rich and varied. I gave many examples and imagined those senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching) while describing them.

Proficient:
Sometimes I spoke about what was happening around me instead of just about myself. I referred to at least three of the five senses. I included a few examples of sensory experience.

Partially Proficient:
I talked about a couple of the five senses, but I didn't imagine sensing them during the presentation.

Unsatisfactory:
Almost all sentences began with "I."
