TED Prep Day 2

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 (2/3 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 from a past year.  Some note worthy ones are: Gabe, Ellie, Ben, Mikayla, Isabel, Claire, Izzy (linked on the senior project page) OR go to the 2018 talks  and at the bottom of the page are the finalists for the award last year!
 
​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?
