Well, we had our first real encounter with technology today, and I think we came out ahead. I hope you enjoyed playing with Prezi and getting a feel for it. There are not many times in your adult life that you can play; enjoy the times you get in this class. I know I do.
Today we talked about the way Lewis used his story to encourage his audience to reconsider their thinking about the environment. We talked about how effectively Lewis related to his audience, how he built up his story with visually-evoking language, and how his ending offered suggestions to deal with climate change.
As you consider your story, think about ways to relate to your audience. How can you set the stage to get us excited about what you learned? What visuals can you explain, or show, with the Prezi going on around you? Remember, you'll have 3 to 4 minutes to tell us your story. You must use Prezi. And you will be presenting with your tribe standing with you.
For Tuesday, I want you to read Chapter 1 in your textbook (Public Speaking: An Audience Centered Approach, 8th edition). If you were in class and paying attention, you know the section I want you to focus on. As you read, consider how it applies to the video below:
If you are having trouble understanding William's accent, click on the "languages" button and choose a language you feel comfortable reading. If the video isn't showing up, follow this link: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/william_kamkwamba_how_i_harnessed_the_wind.html
Have a great weekend.
