TED Talk Prep- Day 2

3/12/2019

 
Starter: A TED talk you've surely seen (on purpose – we care not about his message). Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?  We'll watch this with our graphic organizer.  Debrief organizer in small groups (3-4 students), share out.

TED Analysis:  In small groups, share out your TED analysis.
  1. What patterns did you see in terms of what people liked, and what was interesting?
  2. What were the verbal and non-verbal talents the presenters showed?  Share, write your top two on the board.
  3. Write the top audience interaction technique on the board
  4. What style differences did you note in your group?  What similarities?
  5. What did your group notice about how the talks were structured?
  6. Share your different styles as presenters

Student Examples:  Watch at least half of a student example linked on my DP (see the Student Work tab under Senior Project)  Take notes on…
  1. What was their hook?  Was it effective?  Why/why not?
  2. How did this person use positive elements of their own personality to cultivate relationships with the audience and make their talk more interesting?
  3. What do you think would make an effective hook for YOUR presentation?

Short Article: Making presentations in the TED Style.  Read this article, and pick one of the talks described to watch.  Explain why you chose that particular style, then watch it and take notes on…
  1. What stood out to you about this talk
  2. What you want to imitate from this talk
  3. 2-3 specific ideas you got from this talk

HOMEWORK
​Watch ONE MORE student example.  Start thinking about how you want to structure your talk, and what you want to include.
