When speakers rely too heavily on presentation software templates, they often end up stultifying audiences with a triple-whammy of bullet points. In this article, Lucas and Rawlins present an alternative method--PechaKucha (the Japanese word for "chit chat")--a presentation style driven by a carefully planned, automatically timed sequence of twenty 20-second slides. Described as "the art of concise presentations," PechaKuchas are short, visually rich, story-based presentations. This activity is designed to improve students' ability to use storytelling elements in presentations; to design visually appealing slides; and to be concise in oral presentations.
