Sarah-Jayne Blakemore

Studies, the Development of social cognition and decision-making during

human adolescence.

In Her Speech “The mysterious workings of the adolescent brain”

Sarah Shows how The brain keeps changing throughout adolescence.

Sarah Captures the attention of her audience by showing various different ways they can monitor how the human brain

works.

As the speech continues Sarah maintains the Attention of her audience giving examples of how and why the

adolescent brain works the way it does.

4/5 I think Sarah Did a wonderful job keeping the attention of her audience, She had an understandable tone of voice and spoke

with passion.

To improve her dynamism she could have had more

funny, memorable moments in her presentation.

Although the speech was not customized for the audience and there where not many slides with humorous punctuation the

audience definitely felt smarter afterwards.

I have learned how a fluid, well thought out presentation works, and how much having passion and knowledge of what you are

talking about can help.

Compared to Sarah, Sir Ken Robinson engages with the

audience, Having more humor in his presentation.

He also covers a wide area of topics in his

speech, tying all the points with humor

and finishing strong making the audience

understand how urgent the theme really is.

Sir Ken Robinson Shows urgency in his presentation, while Sarah Has

a more laid back posture since her topic is not about trying to change

how we educate, but to educate about the adolescent brain.

Although These presentations have different purpose, they both

talk about a similar topic, how kids are being educated, and

how their brains work.

I think both presentations teach us a lot about different aspects of the human brain and how we act, and also how to keep an audience entertained and how to send a message to the best of our abilities

To my Classmates, I would suggest getting to truly know their presentations and speaking with enthusiasm and passion will help. Also injecting the presentation with fun facts and humor

will keep the audience’s attention
