Part 2: To get you thinking about your production choices for the Pecha Kucha presentation, complete the following in a few paragraphs (roughly 150-200 words). Find a visual image — A personal photograph from your albums of friends and family that has some special meaning for you. It’s best to use an image that will be included in your PK presentation, but you don’t have to. Write a reflection on the image that includes some or all of the following:
· Take a little time to set up the photo and describe its details and special meaning to your audience. Don’t assume we see what you see. Guide your audience by carefully describing what you and we are seeing. Then offer your reflection of feelings now and in the moment of the photo.
· Who is in the photo? Where were you and when did it take place?
· What details in the photograph stand out to you?
· What emotions are provoked in you by the image?
· Why is this image significant to you?
· Make sure to attach the image to the bottom of your document, or otherwise submit it with your writing.
