TED Talk Finals Info *UPDATED*

**UPDATED:  Thanks to TA Superstar MB, here's a helpful link for your TED Talk preparation.

First off, if you're taking APUSH tomorrow, good luck.  You've got this!!!  I won't be in tomorrow, so please treat the substitute with respect as a favor to me.  You're expected to work on the UC Insight Questions.  Those are hyperlinked on Monday's blog post.  Check it out.

Today I went over the TED Talk final.


  • Presentations will occur Monday 6/13 - Thursday 6/16 PLUS your FINALS DAY.
  • You MUST be present to receive Finals Credit (day of and for other presenters).
  • Scripts must be shared via google drive by Sunday, June 12th at midnight.
  • Sign up sheets will be posted on Monday 6/6 at lunch. (Indicate with a * if you want a CLOSED AUDIENCE).
  • You should plan on dressing in a professional manner.  Think of the TED Talk speakers you’ve seen...it’s not black tie but it’s more than yoga pants/sweats.
  • Speaking time should not exceed 10-15 minutes.
  • The only way to “fail” is to not try.
  • Your DELIVERY is key.  
    No matter what you have to say, HOW you say it matters.  
    Memorizing? Mind palaces? Notecards?
    Reading from a screen? Visuals?
    Where and how will you stand? Will you rearrange the room?
    Will you have props?


And here's the funny TED Talk I showed in class.

I'll see y'all on Thursday.
xoxo
