This week we have worked solely on our Pecha Kutcha presentations, and it has been extremely helpful. We have not necessarily learned much in the way of classroom learning or from books, but how to prepare and present. I find these kinds of projects extremely helpful, mostly because all of my previous High School classes haven't dealt much with public speaking or public presentations. That's why I appreciate having projects like these to help prepare me for future public speaking opportunities, or for my future career. It's also interesting to research a topic we got to choose, it just makes the project that much more enjoyable and easier to get through, instead of researching something that you could care less about. I chose to study "How oppression leads people to make radical decisions". Weather or not that was a specific enough topic, I decided to go with it anyways. The two books I read was Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and Beloved by Toni Morrison. The two books could not have been more different in context, but the climaxes were the same that related to my proposal. I enjoyed reading the books and it took me no time at all to get through them, and has definitely made this project that much easier to do. I also appreciated the chance to be able to use this type of presentation format, especially since I have never heard of it before. This website, http://cmmr.usc.edu//Pecha_Kucha_TipsResourcesExamples.pdf along with the ones given to the rest of the class definitely helped me in creating my Petcha Kutcha and I cannot wait to present my very own.
