2.5 Example talk 2: Jennifer Golbeck

Watch Jennifer Golbeck’s talk, ‘The curly fry conundrum: Why social media “likes” say more than you might think’. Pay particular attention to:

• the introduction (language, topic, how she relates to audience, etc…)
• the middle of part of the talk (where does it start, where does it end)
• the conclusion (what it includes, how it ends)
• the linking phrases you hear throughout the talk
• the tone, style, body language, visuals used.

Consider:

• Why is (or isn’t) her talk effective?
• What are you able to take away from her talk to prepare your own?
