Discussion post

For this discussion, you will first watch two TED talks and evaluate them according to the Georgia Academic Decathlon rubric. The rubric is available in the “additional materials” folder.

Here are the two talks:
1. Tim Harford: How frustration can make us more creative
2. Manoush Zomorodi: How boredom can lead to your most brilliant ideas

Be sure that you watch these two talks and not others by the same speakers. If the links above do not work, you can go to Ted.com and search for the presentations using the speaker’s name or talk title.

Next, post a critique of both presentations. In your post, compare the presentations. Give each presentation an overall score using the rubric. Your critique should be at least 300 words.
