TED Talk/Digital Story - Production
Need to Know
Over the 4 productions you have a maximum of 4000 words. Three of the pieces are creative writing, the other is a Writer's Statement, critiquing your choices in one or more of the 3 creative texts you wrote. For orals, 1000 words is equivalent to a 6 minute presentation.
The parameters of this Assessment Type, Productions, are:
- must create a variety of text types and styles
- must address a variety of audiences
- must address a variety of purposes (main ones being persuade, inform and entertain).
Each Production assignment allows for a persuasive piece but you will have to plan ahead a bit so look at the other assignments now. There used to be an actual persuasive speech option but no one ever did it! The informing is covered in the recount and travel writing and the entertaining in the narrative styles.
