Resources / Materials Needed:

Computer and projector
Smart Board
iPads
Internet

Time:

120-minute lesson

Step 2: Content Presentation

Tell the students they are going to have an example of public speaking. Give an overview of the video they are about to see; access the video transcript on resources page. Play TED talk video. Show the rubric, which is on slide 4 of the presentation, so they know what kind of information they have to focus on.

Step 3: Learner Participation

At this step, students will use their i Pads to take notes during the listening. Play the video twice; after, ask them to write a paragraph with the notes they took, using Google Docs. Ask them to share with you, so you can have an idea about their prior knowledge in writing skills.
