Research: Each speaker must incorporate and credit (attribute) at least 3 sources during his/her presentation: (Pairs: 6-minute, 40-second presentation; Singles: 3-minutes, 20 second presentation). Type these sources in MLA format on a Works Cited page, and turn it in as part of your packet when you give your presentation. As you perform your Pecha Kucha speech, be sure to acknowledge 3 sources used for statistics, ideas, or background information. Slides: Create slides or “views” that automatically progress at 20 seconds per view hence, [Pairs: “20x20”] a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds OR [Single person: 10 x 20] 3 minutes and 20 seconds to support your presentation. Your slides must provide the audience with visual and textual cues that enhance your message. Slides should bring clarity and relevance to your presentation. Try to use association, re-mixing, ambiguity, or tensions that can be clarified while the slide is displayed. Remember to use restraint and simplicity (Presentation Zen moves) as you design your slides. Your final packet will include: 1) Script/outline for your presentation 2) Works Cited page 3) Illustrations (Slide with the name and web address for each graphic/picture) 4) Printout of your slides (choose “PPT Handouts: 3 per page”)

Presentation:

The 20-second pacing encourages you to be concise and efficient; develop a script and

practice, practice, practice.

Use the following structural guidelines:

Theme: A phrase that concisely states what you will be talking about (it can be a catchy phrase). Strong Opening: Capture your audience’s attention (use a story or a startling quote or statistic). Place your opening in the context of your presentation’s theme. Make it easy for your audience to understand where you are going. Connect to your audience: Engage your audience’s curiosity! Make them think critically!
