Talk Like TED

A TEDx Talk is a showcase for speakers presenting great, well-formed ideas in under 18 minutes (ted.com). To give a TEDx Talk, a speaker needs more than just a great idea; he or she needs a variety of tools. An important one is knowledge of rhetorical theories and the ability to apply them in oral presentations. In this course students learn how to design and deliver a TEDx Talk, using rhetorical strategies and other techniques needed to captivate an audience.
