TED Style Talks

 Last week, we became experts on a political idea or type of government. 

Then, we put together a presentation in the style of a TED talk and presented the information in front of the class. 

Listed below are the success criteria we came up with to give an effective presentation: 

  • use pictures to enhance the presentation
  • speak clearly and loudly with good pacing
  • stand/move with confidence
  • make eye contact
After each presentation, we supported our classmates to understand the ideas presented through a Q & A session and by meeting with groups. Take a look at the presentations!


Teacher's Introduction & Oligarchy


Autocracy #1


Autocracy #2


Democracy


Communism #1


Communism #2


Socialism


We will continue exploring these topics to gain deeper understandings. 

We also did a simulation of what democracy was like in Athens, the most famous ancient Greek democratic city-state, that you can see below. 

Have a great spring break!
