Overview of TED Prep schedule

1. Schedule and activities
2. TED Talk speaking and paneling schedule
3. Students update research question/schedule document
4. TED Talk overview and rubric—how does this work, anyway?

Starter:  TED Talk by Sarah Kay + graphic organizer.  Debrief and share out.

TED Commandments:  Read them, choose most and least important, most surprising, debrief.

TED Talk Analysis:  Watch a TED Talk that speaks to you- it could be about anything!  Take 15 minutes or so to choose.  Then watch it, and write down the following:

1. Why do you like this talk?
2. Why do you find the message interesting?
3. What verbal and non-verbal talents does the presenter show us? (use rubric)
4. How does the presenter interact with their audience? (use rubric)
5. What’s one cool thing that may make this person’s style ‘different’ from the rest?
6. What is your style as a presenter?  Are you funny/serious?  Data and evidence  or free-flowing?  Moving or podium bound?  

HOMEWORK:
Finish TED Talk Analysis (see description above) if you didn't finish it in class.
