04.08 - Public Figure Presentations

Today, I handed out and reviewed the public figure presentation description and rubric. We reviewed the rubric and what a quality presentation would involve and then applied the rubric by watching two TED talks and scoring the presentations according to the rubric (see document link and embedded videos below).



After watching the videos we discussed how each presenter faired according to our rubric. Key points that came up in this discussion:

- While everyone's presentation is required to have 6 slides (in addition to any title or bibliographic slides), the presentation can involve more than slides (think Cameron Russel's wardrobe change or modeling demo).

- Slides may include relevant video clips (up to about 20 seconds in length)

- TED presenters have not had bibliographic/works cited slides with their presentations. Public figure presentations must have this.

In the last ten minutes of class, I handed out set 14 roots and prefix sheets. People could also use this time to begin making their presentations. We will have the set 14 roots and prefix quiz on Friday.
