BÅ ENG 9 VT 2018 The Bucket List

Bucket List is a list of all the dreams you want to fulfill, goals you want to achieve, and life experiences you desire to experience before you die. What's on your bucket list?

After seeing the film The Bucket List you are going to write a bucket list on your own. To spice it up, we will present it using the technique PechaKucha

In the film you get to meet two elderly men who by accident end up in the same room at a hospital. Faced with terminal illness they decide to make the best of the time left, despite their differences in life, and go on a Bucket List-tour. But why wait until you are 60+? Why not start right now, and make the dream list of your own. 

Speaking skills

A Bucket List can be about the great things in life, but also about the small. Think about places you want to see, books you want to read and the person you want to become. Make a list with at least 10 things. 

A PechaKucha is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total). The format, which keeps presentations concise and fast-paced, powers multiple-speaker events called PechaKucha Nights (PKNs)(source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PechaKucha). You however only have to add 10 slides and you are allowed to speak for 30 seconds in each slide. You learn your presentation by heart and present it live.
