TED Prep Day 3

Dear Seniors,
I am out today grading your senior thesis papers. Please work hard on your TED Talk and if you have any questions, you can email me!  Please read ALL of today's agenda and then get to work. 

Develop TED Talks

1. Develop slides/other visual aids (if using) and outline what you want to say
2. By the end of this time, you should aim for being roughly 50% done with rough visual aids and outline.

NOT SURE WHAT TO DO or WHERE TO START? Try these things....

1. Watch another student example (see yesterday's blog for the links)
2. Review the TED Talk OVERVIEW and RUBRIC
3. Review your thesis and highlight the points you want to make sure to hit in your talk.
4. Journal on WHY you chose your topic to begin with. Why were/are you passionate about it? How can you share your passion with the audience?
5. Chat out your ideas with a friend

HOMEWORK
Get to the point where your TED Talk is about 50% (maybe even a little more!) outlined, with visual aids developed for that 50% if you are using them.
