Dear Student,
Have no idea how to prepare for you ted talk well fear no more I have the solution to your problem. Here are some tips that can help you make and present the perfect ted talk.
Step 1: Pick your topic:
Your topic may be on anything you wish as long as it deals with social science (Social science is the scientific study of human society and social relationships). Social Science topics may include anything in Anthropology, criminal justice, law,political science, and psychology topics.
If you are stuck and cannot think of a topic type social science topics into google and search until you see something that interests you. If you have any more questions ask the teacher.
Step 2: choose your date:
When do you feel you will be ready by? Chose the date you know you will be present in school and make sure you will be prepared by the date you chose. There is no point in trying to delay your presentation because eventually everyone will present.
Step 3: What are you going to say:
Imagine your ted talk is like a research paper. How would you organize your research paper? Well, a ted talk is like a research paper just shorter. Just break your topic into two or three subtopics and talk about those in your ted talk. Be sure to provide examples and add your own person experiences in there if you can.
Step 4: Visual Aids:
Your visual aids should backup what you are telling your audience. They can include pictures, letters, short videos anything that will back up what you are saying just like evidence. But make sure your visual aids do not become the focal point of your ted talk. You should talk about them for a minute and two then move on to your next topic.
Step 5: Presenting:
When presenting remember do not read right off the board. Look at your audience and speak. If you do need a reference to look at while presenting I suggest using notecards. One final tip make sure you speak nice and clear and make eye contact. If you follow these steps you are sure to get a good grade.

How to create your Post AP Exam Final Project

Post AP Exam Final Project
The key word to this project is to make a “5-10 minute presentation about ANYTHING you really care about.” However, resist making a presentation on basic facts, and try to make a thesis or spread awareness. Attempt to educate the audience; whether it consists of fun facts or foreign concepts, this is an opportunity to be oneself and share one’s ideals.
Ex: Video Gaming à Positive Affect on the World, Metaphor for Antisocial Epidemic, Influence
Food à World Hunger, Metaphor of “You are What You Eat,” The Media of “Good” Food
Depression à Normalcy, Degree and Variety, Societal Influence
Disabilities à Stereotypical Assumptions and Behaviors, Social Influence
Technology à Purpose of a Phone v. How We Advanced, Influence, Reliability
Music à Development of Mind, Advancement, New Concepts of Music in Gaming & Entertainment
In order to present your project, be unique. Do not rely heavily on the text on the PowerPoint or a script one wrote for oneself. If this is a topic the student truly enjoys or cares about, their past experiences and background knowledge should motive the student to enjoy the research. This will aide in having an easier time to remember new, researched information due to the fact that the topic is of the student’s interest.
When presenting, the presentation doesn’t have to be all facts. The presenter may want to get the audience involved, thus a personal experience to share to the audience is acceptable. However, depending on the topic, the student may test the audience with surveys or mini-game-like surveys.
Ex: The Japanese psychology game known as the “Cube Test” gives the audience a chance to reveal
personal aspects of themselves they might not have known. This would benefit a presenter on the
topic of personality.
The presentation on a PowerPoint or poster is recommended to be visual “eye-candy” and not the main focus of the presentation. If the presenter can resist from relying on a script or the PowerPoint, the more the presenter shall appeal to a higher grade if the presentation itself is of good quality.
If TED Talks benefit the presenter to motive themselves into researching and making a quality performance, rely on the TED Talks. However, these are the only source to rely on when making a reference to how to present the topic. One may refer to the actions and behavior of an interview, news reporter, or journalist making a visual presentation. Others may refer to YouTube for aid such as BuzzFeed, VSauce, Game Theorist, and similar channels featuring a similar educational presentation. This benefits the presenter, especially if he or she wants to create a video.
Keep in mind that this project will have a bunch of presenters presenting and students recommended to paying attention, thus try not to make it plain or dull. Keep both oneself and the audience entertained! Also, do not forget to write a 1-2 page summary on your presentation. If the topic was enjoyable, the essay should be a piece of cake.
