TED Challenge - Part II



Now that you've picked, viewed and taken notes on a TED Video (TED Challenge Pt I), it's time to move to the second part of the activity.


You will be placed into random groups of 4 or more students. Each student in the group has a unique talk they felt was exciting and relevant to the class.

The objective of your group is to:
1) Negotiate within your team to decide which video you'll use to represent the group.
2) Once your group has agreed on a video, prepare a short presentation for the class.
3) Be prepared to present your talk when asked to do so.

Your presentation should:
A) Summarize the talk. Get to the heart of what makes the issue exciting and noteworthy.
B) Explain the relevance of the subject matter to our class.
C) Explain how a student could get involved in the field in question in the future.

You will be able to use the class projector to support your presentation.

Points are awarded for:
(3 pts) The student who's talk is chosen for the group earns extra credit.
(2 pts) All the memebers of the group who's presentation is chosen as the best of the class recieve extra credit.

Food for Thought:
-Will you argue for your video as the best to earn extra credit for yourself?
-Or will you support your team by picking a different video to help the group's chances?
-Or do you think your video is so good that it should be chosen for your group and that it will win the class competition as well?
