Cultural Identity Pecha-Kucha Presentation
*You will have time to put together your presentations – if there are any digital pics or images that you
would like to use in your presentation, be sure to save them to a USB thumb-drive or email them to
yourself before class on Tuesday so you can work on your presentation. Using the computers in the
white lab will give you access to PowerPoint which will allow you to time your slides for 20 seconds
each.
*All presentations must be shared with dpearson@hsd1.org before class on Tuesday (9/22) – we will
present from my email, and names will be drawn randomly for presentation order. Everyone who does
not present Tuesday will present Thursday, 9/24.
