TED Challenge PTII!

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 breif presentation for the class.
3) Be prepared to present your talk when asked to do so.

Your presentation should:
A) Play the TED video your team chose. Be sure to introduce your video. Provide a little bit of context for what the class is about to experience :)
B) Each team member will prepare a conversation starting question for the class (open-ended "how" and/or "why", not Yes/No).
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:
(2 pts Extra Cred) The student who's talk is chosen to represent the group earns extra credit.
(1 pt Extra Cred) All the memebers of the group who's presentation is chosen as the best of the class recieve extra credit.
(3 pts) Each student in the group earns a point for each of the above three presentation criteria (A, B, C) that are met in their talk.

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 that will best help the group's chances?
-Or are you so sure of your video that you feel it should be chosen for your group and that it will win the class competition as well?
