Actually, our pecha kucha is not really a pecha kucha because you will only be responsible for 4 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds. That's right you will have 1 minute and 4 images to tell a story about a topic of your choice related to slavery.

Goals:

 * 1) Work together with students in your topic group to decide on specific topics, share resources, and produce a pecha kucha style presentation that tells a coherent story of your group's general slavery topic.
 * 2) Find 4 relevant images related to your specific topic and write an informative story tied to each image (each image will be display for 15 seconds).
 * 3) Each story needs to focus on either:
 * slaves treated as less than human
 * people organizing to influence things

4. Organize slides and student specific topics in a logical and relevant way making sure to transition between topics. 5. Present pecha kucha style presentation in a confident and natural manner. 6. Final slide includes all image citations under name of student

Process:

 * 1) Topic group researches topic to determine specific topics each student will focus their individual presentation on
 * 2) Topic group decides on order of presentation of each specific topic (can do this a little later if needed)
 * 3) Determine 3 main points you want audience to understand about our specific topic
 * 4) Collect numerous images relating to main points
 * 5) Choose the best 4 images that help to visually explain your main points
 * 6) Write your informative story that includes a beginning, middle, and an end
 * 7) Upload images to Google Docs Presentation
 * 8) Practice and edit your story until the words and images match
 * 9) Group presents your slavery pecha kucha
