Complete the TED Talk Speech Worksheet based upon the key steps.1. Consider your audience. For this assignment, your audience is made up of decision-makers at the local, national, or global level. You must keep this audience in mind throughout the speech-making process. 2. Determine your general and specific purposes. The general purposes of speechmaking are to inform, to persuade, and to entertain. The general purpose of this assignment is to persuade. The specific purpose of a speech identifies what you want your listeners to be able to do, remember, or feel at the end of your speech. 3. Develop your central idea. The central idea summarizes your speech in a single sentence. 4. Generate the main ideas. The main ideas are the key points in a speech; these are derived from the central idea. Your TED Talk speech will have two main ideas. One main idea will identify and explain the problem; the second main idea will explain the solution. 5. Gather supporting material. Supporting material includes facts, examples, definitions, and quotations from others. Remember, sources must be acknowledged in the speech. An oral source citation typically includes the author, title, and year of publication.

If the panel is persuaded by your words, you could win, and have the grand prize money used to make the world a better place.So, ask yourself…what do YOU think is the greatest problem that humans face today? Global Warming? Violence against females? Racism? Sexism? Poverty? Homophobism? Xenophobia? A lack of Equal Pay? American minimum wages? A lack of affordable healthcare in the U. S.? Pollution? (etc. etc.)
This is the big one! The 5-7 page Argumentative Essay is the largest assignment in the course and the largest sum of points on the gradebook.In this essay, you are to take a firm, clear stance on a debatable topic and attempt to convince your reader of that stance. You should assume that your reader is passingly familiar with the subject (but only passingly!) and is currently neutral, but only because he or she hasn’t encountered a sufficiently persuasive argument. You will want to carefully consider your representation in terms of the pillars of rhetoric (logos, pathos, and ethos), and to skillfully employ a logical method that makes a solid case for your point of view. You will also want to avoid alienating your audience on divisive matters. Some of our readings will cover these skills. Finally, you will need a mountain of evidence to prove that you are correct in your assertions and that experts in the field hold similar views to yours. This essay will require 5-7 sources and a Works Cited page, as well as matching in-text citations. Be sure to read my writeup on using evidence!This essay will require a clear thesis statement at the end of the introduction which clearly and firmly states your stance on the topic and does one of the following: a) includes three criteria for your decision, which, being satisfied, should convince your reader that your position is the best position or b) demonstrates a clear cause/effect relationship that demonstrates the validity of your position or c) names a policy (course of action or rule/law) which should be implemented and which will embody your position.So what will the paper be about? Ultimately, that’s up to you. Here are the parameters:Your topic should be one that reflects a state, national, or global concern.This concern can be an ongoing concern or one that reflects a current event.Your topic should not be one that is a firmly partisan topic (things that the two major political parties take firm stances on already).Your topic must be debatable.Your topic must merit serious academic consideration.Your topic must be addressed in a wide scope of academic articles, books, and other forms of research. If you can’t find at least 20 sources about it, it won’t fly.Your topic must be one that you are willing to change your stance on if you encounter evidence that goes against your current beliefs/opinions/feelings on the topic.Read my writeup on selecting a topic for more information.must use these sourcesBourdeau, Michel. “Auguste Comte.” Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Stanford University, 8 May 2018, plato.stanford.edu/entries/comte/.Auguste Comte -the good of others as the end moral action.
