I would like you to find a TED talk concerning some aspect of lifespan development being covered in the second UNIT. Anything covered in those chapters is
fine. Read through the chapters, pick a topic or concept, then go to:
www.ted.com/talk
and find one (1) related video. Write an introduction to the TED talk and relate it to the text. Then look at the TED talks of others in our class and make one (1)
informed comment on theirs. Depending on the quality of the introduction of your TED talk and the quality of the response to another’s video you can earn up
to 25 points in total! Don’t just say “Here is my Ted talk video” or “Great TED talk, Joe.” Really relate the video and your responses to the topics we are
currently studying in the text. Some opinion is OK, if it is researched or has a basis in fact. Live links to the TED Talk video are preferred!
Post and respond before the date that the test for the next unit opens. in order to get credit. Each UNIT discussion will close for grading when the test for that
UNIT opens. For full credit, please read the instructions/rubric; don’t simply tell us what we are going to see anyway when we watch the video ourselves!
TED Talks can be found throughout our course as examples and for your information, and at www.ted.com/talk
