Ted Talk Analysis
Write a 500-word analysis of a TED Talk video. Select one 12-minute or longer TED Talk (TEDx discouraged, but accepted) for analysis. This is an excellent opportunity for you to see examples of effective speeches. Choose the speech that you think is relevant to you and a good example of an effective speech. The first section should be a summary of the video. The remainder of the paper should analyze not summarize these three communication elements: emotional, novel, and memorable. Your analysis should address these questions: (1) How did the speaker try to evoke the emotions of the audience? (2) Did the speech have a novel presentation, novel message, and/or novel take on a familiar subject? (3) How did the speaker make his or her main points memorable? The paper should be written in MS Word. The document file should be titled with your last name and the assignment number. For example, Dr. Perry’s document file for this assignment would be perry2.
