In your initial post for this week, due no later than Wednesday, begin by sharing your TED Talk choice, including the title of the talk and the speaker, and providing a reference to that talk in APA style. Here is a sample of APA:
Reference Format: Last name, Initial. (Date). Title of talk. URL.
Example: Lanier, J. (2018, April). Jaron Lanier: “How we need to remake the internet”.
Next, answer the following questions. Referring back to the lesson, answer the following questions in complete sentences.
- What are the speaker’s qualifications? This may include education, work experience, or personal knowledge.
- What is the topic? In other words, what is the talk about?
- Who is the targeted audience? Consider both the immediate audience of conference attendees as well as those viewing the recording online.
- What is the speaker’s purpose? What does the speaker hope to achieve?
- How was the talk organized? What was the speaker’s hook? How was the body of the speech developed? How did it conclude?
- What is the speaker’s tone? Is the talk mostly serious? Are there moments of humor? What emotions does the speaker try to elicit from the audience?
- What different types of evidence did the speaker use? Did the speaker use any charts, graphs, or illustrations?
- What is your final evaluation of the speech? Was it effective or ineffective? (Remember that this will be your thesis.)
