Topic: Early childhood education: Importance of Play
Importance of Play Assignment
Play was the center of all of my experiences in early childhood and is the foundation of early childhood development. All of the topics we discussed in class are important, but I feel it is very important for everyone to understand how important play is for young children.
Step 1: View the TED Talk (Links to an external site.)
Step 2: Answer the following questions about the TED Talk. (I need help writing my essay – research paper copy and paste the questions into your own document to submit for grading)
1. What was the speaker’s thesis (main point) of this speech?
2. What adjectives would you use to describe the TED Talk speaker?
3. Why is play important for children?
4. Ethos is a speaker’s ability to build credibility, establish himself/herself as an expert, and/or convince the audience members that the speaker has their best interests at heart. How does this speaker build ethos? Feel free to also refer to the speaker’s profile information from the ted.com webpage as you build your answer.
5. Pathos is an appeal to emotions (everything from humor to horror) in order to sway an audience, while logos is the use of data/evidence to prove one’s case. Did this speaker rely more on pathos or logos in his/her presentation? What argument/point in this presentation did you find the most compelling? Why?
6. T.E.D. Talk presenters are known as effective public speakers. Describe two things this speaker does well in terms of engaging the audience.
7. Write two specific things you learned from this presentation.
8. If you could ask this speaker a question about his/her information or presentation, what would you ask?
9. Give one piece of constructive criticism that would improve the presentation.
