Once you have watched the video and reflected on the content and organization of the presentation, prepare your analysis in the form of an outline that will be the basis of your video discussion post. Submit the outline to this Video Discussion Post2_Analysis of a TED Talk design presentation. You will record a video in which you present your analysis of the TED Talk. Submit it to the Discussion.
Here are some questions to stimulate your thinking:
Did the speaker capture and hold your attention? If yes, how?
What strategies did the speaker use in his introduction? Did the speaker demonstrate any of the elements set forth in the assigned readings and lecture content?
What organizational pattern did the speaker use and was it an ideal choice?
How did the speaker use supporting facts to establish credibility in the early part of his presentation? Did he use relevant and compelling supporting facts? How was factual support used throughout the presentation?
When the speaker discusses what Livingston is trying to say with this building what does he say about the language, signs, and symbols in this typology?
Can you tell who the speakers audience is by the words he uses and the way he speaks? Does it seem that he did audience analysis to make the presentation audience-centered?
What does the example in Bilbao exemplify in terms of communication, symbols, and meaning?
What is the feedback loop the speaker refers to? What is the feedback loop part of?
What exactly, according to the speaker, is the greatest revolution in architecture since the invention of concrete, steel, or the elevator?
What does the speaker communicate with his use of visuals and are the visuals relevant to the speakers thesis?
How has the speakers conclusion shaped your overall perception of this presentation?
You do not have to discuss everything from that list–select what is most salient and then prepare an outline and presentation.
