Examples, Analysis, Outline

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 from yesterday + starter

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?

This is your ticket into independent work time to work on…
