In my language arts class, for sort of a final project, we did a TED Like Talk. A TED Like Talk is similar to a TED Talk, but it is not turned into an actual video. We used TED’s guidelines to make the project and presented it in front of the class. It was suggested that one should make a script, so I started doing that. I then realized that I had already essentially planned out the whole thing, so I didn’t end up using a script.

My TED Like Talk was on the three blades in fencing. Fencing is a sport where one attempts to hit the opponent with a sword before the other person does. There are different types of fencing (different blades) that I talked about during my TED Like Talk. I enjoyed this project because it made me think about presentation in a different way.
