Dear TED-Ed Club, ! Welcome to the TED-Ed Club community! ! By joining this community, you are one in a network of TED-Ed Clubs being formed in schools and educational organizations all over the world. A TED-Ed Club is all about stimulating and celebrating the ideas of students like yourself. Your club will engage in a series of meetings designed to help each club member give at least one amazing presentation on an idea that they are passionate about. In the process, you’ll work on important skills such as storytelling, best practices for camera, lighting and sound, how to create great visuals and presenting your great ideas. At the end of your meetings, you’ll have a filmed presentation ready to upload to the TED-Ed YouTube channel and to nominate to be featured on the TED-Ed website! ! We’ve assembled this guidebook to help you get started. It is important to understand, though, that what happens, before, during and after a meeting is completely up to you! Feel free to use this guidebook as just that - a reference for how you want to organize your club and plan your meetings. ! We’re excited to have your school involved.

#1 Introduction week: What’s your passion?
It’s tough to give a good presentation on a topic that you’re not passionate about! This meeting is
all about getting to know your fellow club members and spending some time identifying and
articulating the ideas that motivate each member of your group. Later on, each club member will
present and record their own idea worth spreading in the form of a short TED-style Talk.
Suggested meeting time: 30-60 minutes (Some of you may choose to combine
this meeting with meeting #2.)

know what you’re interested in and what you’re passionate about. This will
help your club members give meaningful feedback when you begin
developing your presentation idea.
!
What will you have created by the end of your meeting?
A name badge that lists 3 things you are passionate about. You will bring this to
future meetings so that everyone in the club knows your name and interests.

#3 Explore and declare your idea!
At this point, you might have an irresistible idea brewing in your mind -- or you might have dozens.
Regardless, it’s always helpful to get feedback in the early stages of idea development. Use your
time in this meeting to pitch your fellow club members on any idea (big or small) that you would like
to pursue and present for the remaining meetings. Don’t worry if you have a similar idea to
someone else. Collaboration is the signature of many great ideas!

fellow club members (especially if you hear the same feedback twice!)
!
What will you have created at the end of your meeting?
One or more completed Idea Books.
!

#4 How to Present I: Understanding the beginning, middle and
end
Great TED Talks tend to capture an audience’s attention immediately. They quickly build on that
initial momentum, and provide creative insights and provocations that reward an audience’s
sustained attention. Then, before the talk starts to feel too long, they wrap up with a meaningful,
and eloquent conclusion. In this meeting, your club will analyze strategies for opening, developing
and closing presentations in ways that will enthrall your audience. Of course, you can also invent
your own methods!
Suggested meeting time: 60 minutes
!
Before the meeting:
● Watch the fourth TED-Ed Club Lesson (http://ed.ted.com/on/HrA69Ef4). Your
group can choose to do this before or during the meeting.
● Watch a few TED Talks, either from the Extra Resources packet or ones you
find online, and study the story arcs that the speakers use to relay their ideas
to audiences of any size. Try to note 3 methods for opening and closing talks
that you find to be effective. Club members should arrive at the meeting with
some examples that your club can discuss.
!
Guiding questions
● What dynamics make for a strong opening in a presentation? A strong
conclusion?
● How can a speaker keep the attention of an audience for 18 minutes, or
even for 5 minutes? Aside from speaking and storytelling, what qualities
comprise the beginning, middle or end of your favorite TED Talks?
!
Materials
● A video player
● Pen and paper
● Your Idea Book(s)
!
Meeting activities
● Watch examples of TED speakers from the Extra Resources packet -- great
openings, great methods for sustaining an audience, and great closings
(e.g.: “Aha!” moments, props, passionate one-liners) -- and discuss.
● Talk about ideas you have for your beginning, middle and end, and fill out
your Idea Book.
!
What will you have created at the end of your meeting?
An updated Idea Book that includes more notes on your beginning, middle and end
as your prepare your presentation.
!
After meeting #4

The purpose of this meeting is to give you dedicated time to outline your idea in depth. Think about
what you learned about story arc and decide how you will support your ideas with evidence.
Share your outline with your fellow club members, and try to end the meeting with a good sense of
your main points and when you want to convey to them in your presentation.
Suggested meeting time: 60 minutes
!
Before the meeting
● Collect reliable sources that show evidence supporting each direction that
your burgeoning presentation might take. This means you’ll want to read
plenty of trusted research and articles about your topic, and to make sure
you’re idea isn’t based on any scientific inaccuracies or common
misconceptions. (Be sure to triple check any statistics you include.)
● Investigate different methods for outlining or storyboarding ideas. Pick an
approach that suits your idea, and sketch out a rough outline of your
presentation.
● Watch the fifth TED-Ed Club Lesson (http://ed.ted.com/on/O5rULKIT). Your
group can choose to do this before or during the meeting.
!
Guiding questions
● Who is your audience? What are the key points you want your audience to
understand about your idea?
● What facts have you gathered to support those points? What points (if any)
distract from the primary message you are trying to communicate? What is
the story arc of your final presentation?
!
Materials
Your Idea Book(s)
!
Meeting activities
● Review the concepts of storyboarding and narration of ideas.
● Watch a sample TED Talk and be able to dissect the storyline.
● List the major and points you would like to get across in your presentation.

your audience. You may need some time between meetings #5 and #6.
● Facilitator: Please send photos or screenshots of some of the outlines or
notes created during the meeting to TED-Ed at TEDEdClubs@ted.com. 10#6 How to Present III: Visualizing your idea

meeting, you’ll learn how to create effective, memorable visuals that will make your presentation
come alive for the viewer.
Suggested meeting time: 60 minutes (Some of you may choose to combine this
meeting with Meeting #7.)

do bad visuals look like? What do great visuals look like? How important is
consistency across visuals in your presentation?
!
Materials
● Paper and pens
● Camera
● Computer(s), if available, with PowerPoint, Keynote, or other presentation
programs. Use what you have available, but don’t worry if you do not have
access to computers or other resources. Part of the challenge is figuring out
how you might want to creatively problem solve!
!
Meeting activities
● Watch and find some examples of good (and bad) visuals. Some have been
provided for you in the Extra Resources packet.
● Share your plans for one visual with a fellow club member. Check to see if

portion of your idea.
!
What will you have created at the end of your meeting?
● At least 1 slide or photo that you can include in your final presentation.

during the meeting to TED-Ed at TEDEdClubs@ted.com.
11
!#7 How to Present IV: Create (and then destroy) your visuals
Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and think about whether your visuals really make sense
and make your presentation better. Get creative when thinking about how you present, and what
you are presenting. There are limitless ways to make what you’re saying even more interesting and
fun -- slides are not the only type of visual!
Suggested meeting time: 60 minutes (Some of you may choose to combine this
meeting with meeting #6.)

how you might improve them (or whether you even need them).
!
Materials
● Paper and pens
● Computer(s), if available, to create PowerPoint, Keynote, or other
presentation programs
● Use what you have available, but don’t worry if you do not have access to
some resources. Part of the challenge is figuring out how you might want to
creatively problem solve!
!
Meeting activities
● Work on your visuals, either in a computer lab or with pen and paper.
● Ask for feedback on your visuals from fellow club members.
!
What will you have created at the end of your meeting?
Completed visuals for your final presentation -- whether there is only one slide/
media or lots of slides/media is up to you!
!

!#8 Bad habits be gone
Saying “um,” pacing back and forth, and turning away from the audience -- these are just a few
bad habits that speakers adopt when faced with the pressures of presenting to a large audience.
This meeting is about anticipating the classic bad habits that so often break the precious speaker-
to-audience connection, and understanding what you can do to prevent them.
Suggested meeting time: 60 minutes (Some of you may choose to combine this
meeting with Meeting #9.)
!
Before the meeting: Watch for bad presentation habits happening around you --
on TV, in person, and even in yourself and bring them to the meeting. Think about
how those habits might be broken. (It’s okay to make fun of yourself a little bit!)
!
Guiding questions
● What bad habits have you seen in presentations? What various forms do
they take? Were all of them obvious, or were some only noticeable over
time? How do people recover when things go wrong on stage?
!
Materials
● A device that records video -- it can be fun to review the footage to look for
bad habits!
!
Meeting activities
● Watch, list or act out some bad habits that you’ve observed on stage. We’ve
provided a few examples in the Extra Resources packet.
● Discuss why these bad habits are not good for presenting, and decide on
strategies for preventing them as a group.
● Identify which bad habits you might be guilty of, and think about how you
can avoid them.
!
What will you have created at the end of your meeting?
Describe or take a funny picture of the bad habit you’re at risk of adopting and
email it to TEDEdClubs@ted.com. Also send us any video footage if you are willing
to share!
!
After meeting #8
Meet with fellow club members and/or other friends and family to practice your
presentation. Listen to feedback on any “bad habits,” and try again!
!
!
!
!
13
!!#9 How to capture an idea: Video, lighting and sound
Not every club has the same resources. Some will engage in elaborate production, and others
might capture their talks using a cell phone camera. As long as you employ best practices for the
equipment you have (i.e.: If you have lights, use them. If you’re using a cell phone, stand close to
the person so that the audio signal is strong) your idea will shine. But it’s also important to test,
test, test! Use this meeting to troubleshoot possible scenarios for each club member’s final
presentation.
Suggested meeting time: 60 minutes (Some of you may choose to combine this
meeting with Meetings #8 and/or #10.)
!
Before the meeting
● Assemble all gear that you will be using to record your final presentations.
Make sure you have all your cables, and that all batteries are charged.
● View and understand examples of good versus bad video, audio and lighting.
!
Guiding questions
● What can your club do to make your presentation look and sound as strong
as possible? What are the inherent challenges to the room in which you’ll
record? What background should you use for each presentation?
● Will the visuals be filmed live, or will they be added to the presentation in
post production? How can you make sure that the presentations go
smoothly?
!
Materials
● Any and all gear that your TED-Ed Club will be using to record final
presentations (cell phones, cameras, microphones, lighting, etc.).
!
Meeting activities
● Choose the location where presentations will be made (if you haven’t
already), and test every piece of audio, video, lighting or computer
equipment in that space.
● Make a list of any missing materials that you will still need to test in the next
meeting.
!
What will you have created at the end of your meeting?
● A series of clips that show an improvement in the visual and audio capture of
the club members’ presentations.
● A list of materials to bring and/or set up before final presentations. Divide
these up among the club members to make sure everything stays on track.
!
After meeting #9
Practice your presentations and prepare any production needs for your final setup.
!
14
!#10 Goofs, gabs, kinks and crossroads
Practice, practice, practice. TED speakers are known for practicing their talks hundreds of times
before presenting on camera and at the conference. Practice presenting in front of friends, family
other club members, and even the mirror. And most importantly, ask for feedback. Don’t be afraid
to get criticism -- it will only make your final presentation better.
Suggested meeting time: 60 minutes or as long as needed for each person to
do a quick rehearsal. (Some of you may choose to combine this meeting with
Meeting #9, or club members can work in small groups.)
!
Before the meeting: Practice your presentation -- and then practice it some
more. Be prepared to present in front of the group.
!
Guiding questions
● Do you feel comfortable presenting your idea? Which parts should you tweak
before the final presentation?
● Did any parts feel strange being said aloud? Which facts should you double
check to ensure the integrity of your argument?
!
Materials
● A device that records video and any other production equipment available.
We encourage you to use what’s available to you, whether it is a camera
phone or a traditional video camera and microphones. Be creative and
resourceful!
!
Meeting activities
● Take turns presenting either to the whole group or to a few others.
● Identify where you can improve and/or if there are things you need to add to
your visuals/media.
● Reference some of the materials provided in the Extra Resources packet for
additional ideas on feedback.
!
What will you have created at the end of your meeting?
An inside-and-out familiarity with your talk, how you intend to present it, and what
last pieces you still need to work on.
!
After meeting #10
● Practice! Share your practice presentations with TED-Ed staff if you’re
interested in getting additional feedback. (Ask your facilitator to reach out to
TED-Ed staff to see when they might be available.)
● Divvy up a list of any additional tasks that might need to be done in
preparation for the final presentations. (For example, if you want to have
snacks available, figure out who will bring them.)
!
15#11 Final presentations: Your idea worth spreading
It’s showtime! Your effort, practice and hard work pays off today. Use your visuals, practice
speaking in public and share your ideas with your club. Make sure that you record these
presentations and share them with TEDEdClubs@ted.com. Good luck!
Suggested meeting time: Length of this session is dependent on how many
members are in your group and the length of their presentations. If necessary, you
can break this into multiple meetings and your audience should be no greater than
50 people.
!
Before the meeting: Make sure to complete a test of the video/audio capture
right before this meeting starts. Small variables for recording can change day to
day, or hour to hour, so you will always want to do a small test on the actual day of

A recorded version of all club members’ final presentations. See meeting #13 for
how to share your video with others and with TED-Ed.
!

Below are some ideas and suggestions for supplemental activities that you can do during your
TED-Ed Club meetings as you research, create and prepare your final presentations.
!
Lead a discussion
A great way to gather inspiration and practice for your final presentations is to lead a
discussion on a TED Talk or a TED-Ed Lesson. A simple way to start off is for club
members to take turns choosing a TED Talk or a TED-ED Lesson and leading the
discussion during a meeting. Check out the guiding materials in the Extra Resources
packet to help for tips and materials on how to organize and lead a discussion..
!
Create a TED-Ed Lesson*
Find a TED Talk of your choosing and create a TED-Ed lesson on it through the TED-
Ed website! When you create a lesson, you will be able to share the TED Talk with
the rest of your club members and help that idea to spread. Use the TED-Ed Lesson
to start a discussion within your TED-Ed Club. You can find instructions on how to
create a TED-Ed Lesson in the Extra Resources packet.
!
Record a video response*
Record a brief video of 1-2 minute informal response to the TED Talk and to the
discussion that you had with your club members. You can practice your presentation
skills and send your filmed comments to TEDEdClubs@ted.com. We’d love to hear
your thoughts!
!
Write a response to a TED Talk*
Write a response to a TED Talk of your choosing and post it to the TED-Ed
Community board https://community.ed.ted.com/teded. (Or ask your club facilitator
to do so on your behalf.) Feel free to use the following guiding questions below, or to
come up with your own prompts to follow.
● Why did you choose this particular talk to focus on?
● What was it about the content that interested you?
● Do you agree with the presenter’s overall point?
● How do you feel about the conversation you had with your club members?

Organize a TEDx event
TEDx is a community organized program that is designed to give communities,
organizations and individuals an opportunity to simulate dialogue through TED-style
experiences at the local level. At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos -- or a
combination of live presenters and TEDTalks videos -- sparks deep conversation and
connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a
community-by-community basis.
!You may want to consider participating in a local TEDx event, or even organizing a
TEDx event at your school. There are even TEDx events specifically designed for
young people like you!
