Thomas’s Ted Talk

Last Thursday I presented a thing called a Ted like talk. A Ted talk is something that you know a lot about and care about. My Ted like talk is about golf balls. So what I did for my talk is make a presentation of 4 topics: the history of golf balls, how the ball is made, who invented the ball, and fun facts. So what I did is stuck to one layout on slides and I made a timeline of old golf balls for history. For the facts I had a prompt like how many golf balls have been to the moon then I would make a second slide that had the answer. If you are wondering, the answer is 2 on the Apollo 14 mission.

For the how its made part I had a cut open a golf ball and put it on the screen and added the layers to the ball off to the slide. For who invented the ball I had a picture of the man and the name of what he called the ball and small things like that. Plus I brought cut open golf balls for the class to pass around and the plastic the ball is made out of.

Then it was the day I walked into class.  Three people were in front of me before I was up. One presentation went and then then next after next and then it was my turn. I walked up to the table and in the mirror I took a deep breath and I was off! Once I started talking I was in the groove and it went by fast. By the time I could catch my breath it was over. A few questions later I was back in my seat!!! So that is how my Ted like Talk went!!!
