Washed Out Pecha Kucha
For this assignment, you will be making a Pecha Kucha presentation comparing and contrasting blackface and whitewashing.
Your presentation must include:
- Two examples of blackface and two of whitewashing.
- Analysis of similarities and differences between the two.
- Discussion of the impact on audiences of both practices.
- Argument for which has a bigger impact and why, supported by examples.
The format must be:
- 20 slides, displayed for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds total).
- Slides should primarily feature visuals or key phrases, not blocks of text.
- The narration must address all required points concisely and clearly.
Now that you have brainstormed the similarities and differences between blackface and whitewashing, you can plan your Pecha Kucha with a story table. Visit the Story Table chapter for a refresher on how to use it!
