Purpose

Imagine that you are one of the select few who are invited to speak at a TED Conference. Choose a topic you are passionate about-a hobby, a particular company, a movie, or something else that interests you. Prepare your presentation and deliver it in person or by video.

Process

1. What is the purpose of your presentation?

2. Describe your audience.

3. What level of knowledge is your audience likely to have about your topic?

4. How will you capture your audience's attention in the first minute of your presentation? Draft your opening section.

5. What points will you cover in the body of your presentation, and in what order?

6. Write a closing section that summarizes your points and reinforces the purpose of your presentation.

7. What delivery techniques will you use to make your presentation as dynamic as the TED presenters' speeches?

8. What visuals will you use? Try to avoid traditional presentation slides with heavy text in favor of a simpler, more graphical style.

9. If you were to give your presentation via the Internet to the class, how would you prepare?
