Speech Analysis
For your initial post, watch the TED Talk "Why Videos Go Viral" by YouTube's trend manager Kevin Allocca. (http://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_allocca_why_videos_go_viral.html)
After you have watched the video, answer the following questions:
- What is the thesis statement (main point) of the speech?
- Is the speech persuasive or informative? How can you tell?
- Does Allocca give a preview his main points? If so, what are they?
- How do the visual aids enhance the speech?
- Are his introduction and conclusion effective? Explain.
- Talk about Allocca's speech delivery. What works well? What would you change?
- What are three elements of the speech that you will strive to emulate in your own speeches? Why did you select these elements?
