I really like the idea of one on one attention. I think that children need more one on one attention, they can learn more in less time instead of a huge class of 30 kids with very little one on one time. I love how they were able to help all these kids, and that the kids were willing to go see these tutors and get the help they need. I think that this is such an amazing cause because some kids would never be able to receive this type of education in just a normal public school.
It is amazing how hard these kids would work to get their work published. They were so happy that their hard work was being shown to outside sources. I also think it is cool how the pirate shop became a success because of the children's books being sold their. I bet that it would be so amazing to walk in to this gag store became a place where the public could have a positive and educational outlet.
I think that there needs to be more of this kind of one on one attention outside of the school system. This is such great proof that kids can do so many great things if they are just given the recourse's that they need to succeed. Kids can be so brilliant, and people need to realize that, This organization is working on a great cause and they are helping kids to be successful in English for the rest of their life.
When he was giving his TED talk you could tell that he is very passionate about helping kids in English. He is obviously not a a professional public speaker. I could tell that he was very nervous because he would fidget throughout his whole TED talk. But once he got started talking he looked less nervous and got more into what he wanted the audience to receive through his talk.

J.J. Abrams' Mystery Box : Ted Talk #5
In this TED Talk given by J.J. Abrams, he talks about the unseen mystery's in the movies and TV shows that we all know, and also ones that he directed. He used his grandpa as a reference throughout most of his talk. He talked that sometimes the unseen mystery's are the greatest.
I love this concept, that sometimes you need to look deeper into things to find their true meanings. That nothing is what it seems to be at first. I really enjoyed him speaking because he used a lot of humor. I could tell that public speaking was not his thing, but that he loved talking about something that was important to him. In his presentation he used a lot of examples to back up the "mystery box" concept. He showed clips from Lost, Mission Impossible, and Jaws. He connected with the audience very well. I felt very engaged watching his TE talk, and he never lost my attention.
I like how he was able to make people think of an idea that not many people have ever thought of. Most people view things on the surface, and he encourages to notice the mystery box in everything. That sometimes the point of a whole movie, or show is not what you think.
