Learning Goal:
Students will evaluate TED Talks.
Today we finished evaluating TED Talks. We re-watched William Kamkwamba's first TED Talk, "How I Built a Windmill" and ranked it according to the criteria and rubric we created in class yesterday. Overall it received a rank of 6 out of 10.
We then watched William Kamkwanba's second TED Talk, "How I Harnessed the Wind." We evaluated this new TED Talk using the rubric and it received a rating of approximately 9 out of 10. Clearly, it's a more polished and professional TED Talk. William himself awknowledges this fact in the talk when he says that during his first talk he thought he thought he was going to vomit.
During the second part of class, I assigned your TED Talk presentation. In this presentation you and a partner will choose a TED Talk, that is LESS THAN SIX MINUTES LONG, and defend it to the class. At the conclusion of the presentations, we will vote on our class's top five TED Talks.
I've attached the assignment for your perusal.
Tomorrow and Friday we are in the LIbrary, but you may still bring your laptops or tablets in order to research with your partner.
