Assessment 4: Pecha Kucha Presentation (20%)
Watch the video
about Global Poverty, which is an example of the ‘Pecha Kucha’ method

How is this
presentation different from others you have seen?
It draws the light on how dark the
world is and how unfair life to most of the children.
How do you think
this presentation might engage the audience?
I think the shocking statistics of
death, sickness and uneducated children. Plus, the high percentage of
population and poverty in the world engage the audience really well to rethink
about others and how humanity can be rescued.
Complete the missing words below from the presentation:

Half of them live in extreme poverty

Over one billion people
have inadequate access to water and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation - many
times this means there's no separation between drinking water and toilet water

That’s why 1.8 billion children die every year from
diarrhea
|
|
12
|
Approximately half the world's population now lives in cities
and about one-third of those in the city's live in slum conditions

If you're reading this
listing you're in the top 30% of
the world's population
when it comes to poverty and wealth

|
With new technologies we
now grow enough food to feed 10 billion people- one-and-a-half times the world's population
The problem is that most

If the world spent less than 1% of what it spends on
weapons all the previously mentioned issues
will be fixed
