The purpose of this activity is to draw on the collective wisdom of your peers to develop an understanding of the generic expectations of a TED Talk, which you will be producing for Assignment #4: TED Talk.
First, watch at least three of the following nine student-recommended TED Talks paying attention to features of the videos that get repeated in more than one of the talks; you are reverse engineering these talks much in the same way you did in Response #4. Also, read Steimle's "What it is Really Like to Deliver a TEDx Talk" and Vascellaro's "Behind the Making of TED Talks" and think about whether the observations that you made about the TED Talks correspond with what these writers are saying about them.
Second, individually think about the following questions:
Third, as a group use the strategy that your team designed for Activity #1: Creating a Plan for Collaboration to answer these questions in a 500-750-word cohesive statement. I am not interested in the perspective of one person in the group whom the others have assigned to answer a single question. I want to learn how you helped each other understand this text and what the group collectively learned from the article. The answer to these questions should reflect the diversity of your group.
On April 19, 2019, only one person from each team needs to submit the Activity to the Google Classroom; however, all other team members should mark the Activity as done in Google Classroom.
