Research Pecha Kucha stemming from your non-fiction book

Project

You will produce a Pecha Kucha demonstrating your appreciation for the theme/intent of your book.  You may do this in one of two ways:

1.     You may choose any subject which interests/inspires you and which stems from  this theme and explore that. 

2.     You may do a synthesis of your theme as it exists both inside your book and outside your book. (this might be a movie, song, poem, essay, article or it may be occurring in the world around us.)

(think in terms of our artifact share)

 A word of caution: YOU MUST NOT DO A SUMMARY OF YOUR BOOK. THIS IS NOT AN ASSIGNMENT TO TELL YOUR PLOT. Rather, it is you demonstrating your appreciation of theme

·      Research your topic/analyze the way/s it links to the theme.

·      Produce a works referenced page (correct APA format); this must include your images

·      Present your findings in Pecha Kucha format (see previous post)
