Week 4 Activity
With this activity you will develop your analysis of a TED talk.
First, select a “talk” (aka presentation or speech) that interests you from the 1,100 TED Talks (ranging in length from 10 to 20 minutes).
FYI: TED Talks was selected because each speech video should have enough depth or substance, and video quality to allow close viewing and analysis.
Second, review chapters 10, 11 and 12 of your text.
Third, listen to the presentation several times, paying close attention to how the individual uses non-verbal communication, composes sentences, and organizes thoughts, etc. Use the outline below to structure your analysis:
Purpose: General and specific purpose (and implied if different from stated purpose)
Non-verbal deliveryMovement in Your Speech
Visual Aids
Strategies for SuccessPathos: tone, emphasis, engagement
Logos: clarity, conciseness, arrangement
Ethos: credibility, expectation, reference
StyleAppeals (to emotions, logic, ethos)
Figurative language (similes, metaphors, symbols, imagery)
Use of language, word choices (diction)
Passive or active voice
Simple or complex sentences; short or long sentences
Oral strategies and tacticsMusic
Volume
Speech patterns (articulation, intonation, emphasis)
Other sound effects
Four, develop your analysis using the variables in all 5 of the areas above. Make sure you develop your arguments and ideas thoroughly.
Be sure to include the hyperlink to the “talk” you selected so we can view the presentation.
Make your initial post by Saturday night. Then, respond to at least 2 of your colleagues.
Please use a minimum of one scholarly reference to support your thoughts. Remember to format both your reference and its corresponding in text citation in APA format, as this is a graded item.
