  1. That is a good beginning! I just think your ideas need to grow a little bit more and don't forget to add smooth transitions from one point to the next.

  2. I also agree that this is a good start. At least to have the bones of the speech planned out is good. The thesis is going to be the main argument of the speech and it seems like you have that kind of planned out already just getting the words on the paper seems to be the real issue. On the credibility I wouldn't announce that you are going to do your best simply because it almost sounds like you're unsure which docs your credibility completely. Other than this I think you're off to a good start!

  3. You definitely have something going here with your main points, but tying everything together with a thesis can be pretty challenging tbh. I think as long as you work on that and develop a coherent thesis for your presentation, everything else will just kind of fall into place from there and you can expand your ideas more. You got your ideas already developing so as long as do what everyone was saying above as well, I think you'l be good to go.

  4. Like the others said, this looks like a good start. One thing I'd say is don't forget your citations, even if you're just citing the chart. Other than that, having a thesis is the main thing you need, but it seems like you're starting to think about it.
