Description
Episode 7: Discover the 4 components of what makes a great storyteller, and the important role that stories play in audience connection. -- This is episode 7 of the animated series, “Public Speaking 101.” Ideas change everything — and since language lets us share our ideas, learning how to use it well gives speakers the power to inspire people and even change how they think. This 11-episode course will teach you how to identify, develop, and share your best ideas, while mastering essential communication skills along the way. Directed by Tolga Yıldız, Kozmonot Animation Studio. The TED-Ed Student Talks program provides free, customizable activities for educators to support their students in identifying, developing and sharing their ideas with each other and the world.
