09 Ted Talk Critique // Due the week of Dec. 2, 2014

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving Break!

For this week's homework, it's pretty basic: I just want you to watch 2 more Ted Talks at Ted.com, but this time, I want you to critique what how the speaker speaks. How are their movements, eye contact, gestures, voice tones, speed, etc?

Also, I'd like to videotape you all giving a speech when you come back, so will you email me if you do not have a video phone that could take a video of you for yourself?

Thanks!
