Module Six Question 1 Describe the narrative path that you plan to take. For example, do you plan to start by describing the social science issue and ultimately lead the audience to the logic as to why they should care? Do you plan to open with your research question? Do you plan to use an overarching analogy? Do you think the narrative of your presentation will work best as a single story or as a series of examples? As you continue working on Project Two, you may choose to structure your presentation differently. You can always edit this response later! The route that I plan on taking to establish the overarching theme of my narrative is to structure the opening hook using an anecdotal allegory to grab the attention of my audience right from the beginning. By opening my presentation with an engaging hook, I hope to foster a sense of sincere interest from the members of my audience, to hopefully maintain their attention, and to hopefully foster a growing sense of interest and empathy on the social issue that I will be to them. Module Six Question 2 In your opinion, was this TED Talk engaging? Did you want to keep listening? Why or why not? Make special note of any times you felt lost or confused while viewing the presentation or trying to follow along with any technical concepts Ornish used to explain his work. I do believe that Dean Ornish's TED Talk was effective and that the information presented in his presentation was important for the audience to hear. I was not necessarily impressed by his overall ability to keep his audience engaged due to what I found to be a far too rapid rate of speech as well as what I heard as a monotone intonation when he spoke. There was a rushed quality to his presentation that left me feeling a bit unsettled and made it difficult for me to remain fully focused on the topic he was presenting or the facts he was highlighting. Module Six Question 3 After listening to the talk, do you feel personally connected to the issue? Why or why not? If you were on a committee of people determining whether to approve funding for Ornish's work, would you agree to provide him more funding? Why or why not? As I have just mentioned, it was difficult for me to truly connect with this issue. I found the rate at which he spoke, the monotone quality of his voice, and the feeling of being rushed, all made it difficult for me to personally connect to this problem.

Module Six Question 4 Now think about your own presentation. Of course, you are not finished constructing the presentation; however, consider what you have done so far. At this stage you have finished two slides, the narrative structure and elements, the description of the social science issue, and an appeal to the audience as to why they should care. Provide yourself some honest feedback. What areas of your presentation need the most work? How do you plan to adjust your presentation so that you communicate your research effectively? I have a strong belief in my presentation overall as I have really spent a great amount of time doing my best to construct my presentation with a thoughtful amount of time and effort invested in having a very well-written, well-researched, and strong final project. However, after a full review, my anecdotal introduction could use some editing as I have found that it may be a bit too long in length and could benefit from better consolidation.
