Description of Learning:
In this unit, students will develop analytical and speaking skills by deconstructing TED TALK Speeches. The TED TALKS by Bill Gates will serve as a body of work. This unit will guide students to create their own unique TED talks for the class and possibly a school-wide TED event. TED Talks offer students an opportunity beyond the classroom to have a voice and share “ideas worth spreading.”
Students will be: listening to a variety of speeches based on local and global issues; analyzing rhetorical appeals and stylistic techniques that make speeches powerful; researching a topic of your choice that has personal relevance to you; organizing a 2-3 minute soapbox speech.
