How did the speaker maintain the engagement

4. 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.

5. Which of the ten TED Commandments does
the speaker best follow? How/why?

6. 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.

delivery based
upon watching
your presenter?

learned

and “Changing Education
Paradigms.”)

14. 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.

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

through to the
audience

compered to Adam Savage
speech that had more energy.
