Goal: To understand the requirements for the TED presentation
First things first. Sign up for an all school exhibition option. I'll give a copy of the schedule for the rest of the week.
We're going to start today introducing the TED presentation. You'll start reviewing a TED talk and discussing with each other what's most important in an effective presentation. You'll compare your own notes with the TED commandments and highlight the most important thing for you. This will take the first half of class.
1. Watch this TED talk by Sarah Kay (If I should have a daughter) with our graphic organizer. Debrief the organizer in small groups (2/3 students).
2. Create a list with each other what you think is most important in an effective presentation.
3. Once you're done look at a copy of the TED commandments. Read them. What's on this list that's not on your group's and vice versa? Highlight, underline, or rewrite the tips that feel most authentic and important to you.
The second half of class will be work time for you to work on your revisions (especially the knotty problems that I give you to figure out), finish up your paper, or to do your homework on TED presentation. I will be available to answer questions and conference during this time.
Homework due on Wednesday, April 29th
Go find a TED talk that you like. You can use the talks listed on this page as a place to start. Settle on one and take 20 minutes or so. Get out the SP talk rubric that I pass out in class. Now, watch the whole thing and use the rubric to rate different aspects of the talk. Think about the following:
* Why do you like this talk? Or not?
* Why do you find the message interesting?
* What verbal and non-verbal talents does the presenter show us (use rubric).
* How does the presenter interact with their audience? (use rubric).
* What's one cool thing that may make this person's style 'different' from the rest?
Come ready to share some of your insights tomorrow
