1. Warming up with how to begin
- Recapping the first 30 seconds of Wednesday's Ted Talk
- Finding TWO of your favorite Ted Talks and watching the first 30 seconds of each.
- How do your two speakers open their speeches?
- Can you steal any techniques from them?
- What will be the first thing you say to us?
- Be vulnerable.
- Consider telling a story.
- Consider addressing/involving your audience.
- Consider shocking/intriguing us with a fact.
2. Sharing thoughts on using that giant, glowing screen behind you
- Watching the rest of last Wednesday's Ted Talk without sound
- What's on the slides?
- What's the purpose of slides in a presentation?
- What will be on YOUR slides?
- Images?
- A single word or short phrase?
- A quotation?
- A graph or chart?
- A video you made that's no longer than 20 second in duration?
- Remember to avoid guiding bullet points or any writing that goes beyond a phrase or single quotation.
3. Teaching you how to prep an index card and how to hold it
4. Considering how to conclude your speech
- What will be the last thing you say to us?
- Make us believe in your ideal.
- Consider calling us to action.
- Your speech took us on a little journey. The ending should be even better than the beginning.
"And that's my speech about ____." "And that's pretty much it."
