Assignment 6 – City Mini-Pecha Kucha (10 pts)
Assigned: March 29, 2012
Due: April 12, 2012 (by 5:00pm)

 

Pecha Kucha (pronounced peh-cha ku-cha) is a presentation technique especially for those who love PowerPoint, but this method ensures it is fun, fast and interesting. The approach limits the presentation to 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide - a maximum of 6 minutes 20 seconds.  For this assignment, you will select an urban topic and prepare a “mini-pecha kucha” which will consist of 10 slides with 20 seconds of narrative per slide (recorded voice over slides).  Be sure your presentation is informative, well-structured, and most importantly, cool.  Post the file to: youtube.com with the file name as firstname+lastname.avi (or other video type).
