TED Prep, Day 4: Visual Aids and TED Talk Work

ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT RESUBMISSION:
Due to the worst snow day ever, I am a little behind in where I wanted to be with thesis grading (my 2 year old is not super helpful in giving feedback to writing...).  I will be caught up and on schedule by Monday!  

Guidelines for RE-Submission of your Senior Thesis:
Once you have received your final grade for your paper, you will have the option to rewrite it based on my comments.  Your revised paper grade will REPLACE your original grade.  In order for your re-submission to be accepted, you must follow the guidelines below exactly. 

• Deadline:  ONE WEEK after the day you received your thesis back from me.
• Email/share with me your revised draft
• Submit your draft together with both your previous draft and the graded rubric (put your old draft and rubric in my inbox).
• Your final draft must demonstrate improvement between drafts
• I will not be commenting on revised drafts, and the revised grade will replace your original grade
• Important: Annotations on your final draft  are REQUIRED.  Feel free to highlight, underline, comment, or draw arrows to specific points made, new evidence used, new phrasing etc.  Your final grade depends in a large part on your ability to show growth between drafts in the categories I have outlined in the rubric.  Make it easy for me to see this growth with your annotations.  Even better if your comments are coded to rubric categories

Starter: Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs  The art of the slide-based presentation - Today we'll take a close look at slides by comparing Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.  We'll also see how Bill Gates evolved over time into an excellent slide-based presenter.  

Develop TED Talks 

1. Develop slides and outline what you want to say
2. By the end of this time, you should aim for being done with initial slides and outline.

HOMEWORK
Finish rough draft slides/visual aids and outline of TED Talk.  You will need these ready for an initial talk-through tomorrow in class!
