Speech Analysis
For this assignment you will choose a TED talk (can be found on Youtube) on the topic of your choice and evaluate it. The talk needs to be at least 10 minutes long. Also, choose a topic you enjoy, since you will more likely view it more than once. Your paper will respond to the following areas, using moments in the speech as your support:
First paragraph – Topic: Tell me about this presentation. What is it about? Where is the speaker? Why did you choose this speech? What can you tell about the audience? Is the topic appropriate for the audience? Is topic relevance discussed? Are main points clear and logical?
Second paragraph – Structure: Does the speech flow smoothly? Is it easy to follow? Is there a clear introduction with our required elements? Are all main points developed thoroughly? Does the speaker use transitions? Does the conclusion review the main points?
Third paragraph – Credibility: Are facts and support material used to support opinions? Does the speaker verbally cite sources? Are sources of information reputable? Was the speaker believable?
Fourth paragraph – Delivery: Did the speaker use good eye contact? Were there any distracting mannerisms? Were distractions handled well? Was voice volume sufficient? Was rate of speech appropriate? Was practice evident? Did the speaker seem confident and prepared?
Fifth paragraph – Final thoughts: What did you learn from watching and evaluating this presentation? How can you apply what you learned to your own speeches? Any other final thoughts?
This is a formal college paper. That means MLA format, complete sentences, correct grammar, and a reference section with the link to your chosen TED talk. This paper should be 2-5 pages long, double spaced. While you may write in first person, a series of yes and no’s will result in a poor grade. Have fun with the assignment and contact me with any questions!
