Here you will provide your immediate reaction to the talk in a paragraph or so (figure on about 6 sentences or so; if you go slightly over that is okay).  The first 2 to 3 sentences of your response should provide a brief summary of the TedX talk.  The remainder of your response should be your reaction to the talk (for example, what kind of thoughts did it evoke?  did you agree with the speaker or disagree, and why?  was the talk meaningful for you in contexts outside of the course?).  Both portions of your response are important, particularly the reaction.  Responses that clearly reflect you having thought about the talk will receive the best grades.  Responses that are not detailed will receive poor grades.
