Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers.
Audience Engagement
Last week, you analyzed a TED speaker, providing a section-by-section breakdown of their performance. This week, you will select another TED video to analyze, with a specific focus on audience engagement. Visit TED.com and watch several TED speakers. Note that you can sort by topic, speaker, and a host of other criteria. You can watch any TED talk you wishexcept for the one you watched for the Week 2 assignment. If you’re looking a more concentrated list, you might also wish to visit this link, which highlights the 25 most popular TED talks of all time.
In your initial post, you will identify a TED speaker who engages the audience effectively (using principles from our reading and course content to justify your position). Be sure to provide a link to the talk, summarize their speech, and tell us what mechanisms of speech delivery they use that make them so effective. Tell us what you have learned from them as it applies to your topic and your speech. At a minimum, your posts should answer the following questions:
What does the speaker do in the introduction to grab the audience’s attention?
How does the speaker demonstrate their credibility?
What techniques of delivery does the speaker use effectively (e.g., motion, vivid language, nonverbal, humor, visual aids, etc.)?
How does the speaker “leave” the audience (i.e., what do they do in the conclusion to wrap it all up)?
Why is this speech engaging to you? What have you learned and what can you weave into your upcoming speeches to make them more engaging?
In your follow up posts, you will view at least two other posts by your classmates, viewing the TED talks they posted as well. Your responses should clearly reflect that you have viewed these additional talks and things that you observed about the speaker’s effectiveness above and beyond what your colleague has already posted.
