Search the TED Talk Website and search for a presentation (10 minutes or longer) that interests you. Then write a 1-2 pages, double spaced, report that includes terms and techniques we discussed in class and how the speaker uses them (ex. attention-getter, research, patterns of speech organization, body language, etc.).

• Summarize the discussion topic (limit this to one paragraph)
• Was the speech informative or persuasive? How did you know? What language did the speaker use?
• How did the speaker gain your attention? What techniques are used?
• How was the speech delivered? What techniques did the speaker use? Were there any insightful or impactful messages?
• Does the speaker use additional research, personal experience, or both as support? How?
• Did the speaker use a speech organization pattern like we discussed in class?
• Did the speaker have an impactful ending? How did the speaker conclude the talk?
