TED-STYLE TALK OUTLINE AND REFLECTION INSTRUCTIONS:
You may use the attached Outline Worksheet also found in course documents.
TITLE: Give your talk a title and put this at the top of your outline. Offer a few sentences about why you have selected your topic.
INTRODUCTION: Identify the type of introduction you have selected (See the handout of commonly used introductions in course documents). You do not have to write out your introduction but please offer some ideas about what it will be about, why you think it will be captivating to this audience, how it will have established speaker credibility.
STRUCTURE: Identify the speech structure you feel best describes your talk. Offer a short paragraph (3-5 sentences) that explains why you selected this structure and why you feel it works well for your topic. TIMING: For each section of your talk (introduction, transitions/bridges, key points, and conclusion) please identify how much time you plan to devote to each. Remember, the total time for your talk should be 15 minutes. Check your balance – have you allotted enough time for each segment.
KEY POINTS: In your outline, describe the body of your talk as it is divided into key points. For each key point, offer the facts or evidence you plan to use to support it. How have you supported the topic authentically and through evidence?
CONCLUSION: What is your call to action? How will you make this memorable and inspiring to the point that your audience will want to act on what you have said?
PART 3: THE REFLECTION (25 Points – Due Aug. 15) CONTENT: Please offer a short description (about three – four paragraphs) of what the experience of creating your TED-Style talk was like.
SUGGESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: (You are not limited to these suggestions.)
Challenge:
What challenge did you face in taking on this assignment?
What goals did you set for yourself? Did you achieve them or ot?
Learning:
What did you learn? Did you learn what you expected to learn?
What did you learn about your leadership/communications style?
Were there any variables that came up that were unexpected?
Process:
Explain your process and discuss the products of your work. If there were any setbacks, don’t be afraid to talk about them, too. We often learn significantly from trials/obstacles. Remember that less than optimal outcomes are not failures and regardless of whether your project came together or was delivered in the way you intended, there was real-life learning.
Motivation:
Talk about your purpose or what the audience should learn from your talk. Inspire your audience with your passion for your pursued activity. What is the future of your project?
Conclusion
Include a meaningful “take-away.”
