Context: Dytham and Klein, turned PowerPoint, that fixture of cubicle life, into both art form and competitive sport. Their innovation, dubbed pecha-kucha (Japanese for “chatter”), applies a simple set of rules to presentations: exactly 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each. That’s it. Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images and then sit down. The result, in the hands of masters of the form, combines business meeting and poetry slam to transform corporate cliché into surprisingly compelling beat-the-clock performance art. Using PowerPoint in speeches usually falls flat. PowerPoint becomes a teleprompter, which defeats the purpose of giving a speech.
Description: For your final assignment, YOU will create a Pechakucha to inform your audience about a particular topic. The subject matter is to be appropriate for class discussion. Some ideas include topics associated with current events, important social, community and national issues; your education, career, family, etc. Be creative, select topics you will enjoy researching and “speaking” to an audience about. Remember to consider your audience in your topic selection.
The best method is a thematic approach. Try to cluster ideas and images together. Have two or three main points and a series of slides that supports each point, let the slides play like ambient visuals, explaining the important images in sync with the timing.
Here is an example of someone giving a demonstrative speech:
