 * == USE TED Talks in speech class ==

Speech Talk
The first thing I did was get the students familiar with the Persuasive/Memoir speech patterns that so many of the TED speeches possess. Many of the presentations, regardless of the length, whether they are 3 minutes or 23 minutes, tend to some share key common traits like:
 * Hook
 * Background Information
 * Narrative
 * Evidence
 * Commentary
 * Theme
 * Call to Action
 * Visuals


 * == Immerse Them in the Models ==


 * One of the activities I regularly assign as a way to immerse them in the TED universe is to watch a particular speech and analyze it in a blog post. I recently assigned my students the task of watching [|Matt Cutt's "Try Something New for 30 Days."] **

 * For whatever subject you are teaching go ahead and enter the topic into TED and see if it comes up with a talk, this may be a great way to begin a discussion in your class.**
