ADaM Savage

Thesis Statement: Achieving the exercise was never the point of the exercise was it .

Adam Savage

How did the speaker capture the attention of the audience in his or her introduction?

& How did the speaker maintain the engagement of the audience throughout the speech?

Adam captured the attention of the audience by specking of the NY times article that said a stash of DODO bird bones where found in the

island of Mauritius.

Adam kept his audience engaged by making them laugh and telling them how he was obsesses on having his own DODO bird skeleton and end making his own.

Which of the ten TED Commandments does the speaker best follow?

How/why?

I feel Adam used TED second

Commandment: Show us the real

you.

As I was watching Adams TED video, I did not feel as if I was watching some video of a person talking about something he didn’t care about. I saw a person that was not afraid to show his real self and talk with his emotion.

Evaluate the speaker in terms of dynamism from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). What could the speaker have done to increase his/her dynamism?

In Dynamism I g

ive him a 5 of 5

I really enjoyed his speech and visual aids.

He was Fluent, used visuals very well, and demonstrated passion

What tips were used from Garr

Reynolds or Nancy Duarte?

Naturalism was what I found to help the most.

What have you learned about delivery based upon watching your

presenter?

What I learned about

delivery is if one has

a good story to go with your speech

then the audience will listen.

Compare and contrast your speaker to Sir

Ken Robinson from the two videos you

watched (“Schools Kill Creativity” and

“Changing Education Paradigms.”)

Sir Ken Robinson Is more formal in his approach to public specking. He didn’t use visual aids but use humor to get his message through to the audience.

Adam Savage approach is more modern in the seanc that he uses visual aids and tells more of story than a

speech to get the message through to the audience

They are both very good public speaker But Sir Ken Robinson speech lacked

little energy compered to Adam Savage speech that

had more energy.

What tips can you give your classmates on delivery for their upcoming speeches based ONLY on your TED Talk?

Have A GOOD STORY TO GO WITH YOUR SPEECH
