What is Pecha Kucha?

Pecha Kucha translates as “the sound of conversation”or “chit-chat” in Japanese. Its creators wanted a space to share ideas and messages through presentations. Pecha Kucha is a presentation form of 20 images for 20 seconds. The slides are just images, no words, change automatically and the speaker must synchronize their speech with the images.So, the entire presentation always lasts for exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

Steps toPrepare for Your Pecha Kucha presentation

Step 1: Select a Topic - Your topic is your topic and should be something you know and are ideally are passionate about. A common Pecha Kucha is on trips or vacations that people have taken. Here are some common Pecha Kucha examples:

1.    Travel Experience

2.    Food Experience

3.    Emotions andControlling Them

4.    Looking at theFuture

5.    A Hobby

Step 2: Create an Outline – map out your story.Get twenty note cards and map out the ideas of your story.

Step 3: Create Your Slides - Create twenty slides, each slide with one image that corresponds to your outline. Do not addtext to any of the slides.

Step 4: Practice your Pecha Kucha – Do your best to present for 20 seconds per slide. That means your total presentation should be 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Record yourself practicing your presentation. Send that recording to your partner who will give you feedback on your presentation and practice again.

Step 5: Deliver your Presentation – in light of the Coronavirus, record yourself delivering your presentation and send the recording in to be graded.
