This page is mainly for my students in the Dept. of Modern Business at Miyagi Gakuin Women's University, Sendai.
The video is a "guided journey" (like a guided visualization, but not limited to visual images.
Of course, "future history" is a contradiction. They are imagining a timeline into the future, then describing it as if it the actual history.
Students imagine their future success in business (that's their major!), they reflect on what they are doing now to gain skills, what they will do in the future including the challenges they will meet and how to overcome those challenges. It is important that they are defining what success means for them. Then they do a presentation about it.

HERE is the template for a presentation (they modify it or do something completely different. (Sample slide in the pictures below).
Photos. These are some places to get free photos to use. Please do NOT break copyright. Only use pictures you are allowed to use. It is a good idea (and a nice thing to do) to list the photographer and photo source on your slide. I usually do this is small (12 point letters at the bottom).

HERE are the pages they use for making notes (see below) -- they use them like a mind map. We make A3 copies so they have more room to work. We often use post-its on top sheets. Post-its make it easier to move ideas -- better for presentation planning.
