After watching a TED talk (or a few!), write a short 300-500 word (1.5-2 page) analysis of that talk. Please ensure that you cite the talk you watched in appropriate APA formatting. You should answer the following questions in your analysis:
· What is the topic and who is the speaker?
· How does the speaker get the audience's attention in the introduction?
· What are the main points of the talk? Are they easily identifiable?
· What techniques of delivery does the speaker use effectively (e.g., emotion, vivid language, nonverbals, humor, etc.)? Please be sure to provide examples.
· How does the speaker conclude the speech? Does it echo the themes in the introduction and "tie the knot" or does it go in a different direction?
· Is the speech effective? Did it leave an impact on you? Tell us why or why not.
