    Analyze one TED Talk Speech <\/span><\/strong>\u2013 Choose any Informative<\/strong> or Persuasive<\/strong> <\/span>TED or TEDx Talk speech. Do not choose an animated speech, otherwise you will not receive any points. (No credit will be given for performances or other types of talks, or for choosing a TedTalk we have already discussed in class, or a speech that is not listed in TedTalk.)<\/p>\n

Please go to <\/span>www.ted.com <\/span><\/a> <\/span>This is a brilliant resource for all kinds of speeches. <\/p>\n

Find an informative or persuasive speech that interests you. If that speech turns out to be poorly constructed and delivered, you can still write about it.<\/b> <\/p>\n

There are three parts to this assignment. The first part focuses on content; the introduction to the speech. The second part focuses on the speaker\u2019s physical delivery. The third part focuses on vocal delivery of the speaker.<\/p>\n

You should write the same amount of words for each part. In other words, do not write ten lines about the introduction, 60 lines about the physical delivery, and two lines about the verbal delivery. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE THE TITLE OF THE SPEECH AND NAME OF SPEAKER. YOU WILL LOSE 5 POINTS IF YOU FORGET.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. WRITE IN PARAGRAPHS. You will not receive maximum points for writing one large paragraph.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. MAKE SURE YOU PUT KEY WORDS IN BOLD FONT (<\/strong>for example, <\/span>hook, relevance, credibility, preview…) You will lose 10 points for not putting key words in bold font.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Format: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Address each topic in the correct order, making sure each topic is in bold, so I can clearly identify the topics. <\/span>Your essay should follow the format sample:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Format Sample  <\/strong><\/h2>\n

    There are 14 questions to answer. Discuss whether your chosen speech appropriately and successfully makes use of the following components. (If you find a component is missing, write about it.)   <\/p>\n

    14. Enthusiasm:<\/strong> <\/span>Did the speaker communicate <\/span>enthusiasm? <\/span><\/strong>(Explain.)<\/p>\n

    I expect clear, concise writing that demonstrates you have proofread carefully because there are no grammatical errors. You will lose points if the writing is unclear and you write less than the minimum number of words.<\/p>\n

    It should be easy for me to identify your central points <\/span>because you have identified key words in bold.<\/strong> <\/span>For example, \u201cThe speaker\u2019s <\/span>vocal variety <\/span><\/strong>was evident. He spoke with great enthusiasm and energy, although he often used <\/span>habit words <\/span><\/strong>that were distracting.\u201d  Do not write two long paragraphs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
