Show it! Group presentation - Rainforests - Year 5

As part of their learning journey on rainforests, Year 5 students are tasked with an engaging and creative project: to showcase their newfound knowledge through a group presentation. Towards the end of their learning unit, children are given the chance to present their findings and insights to their classmates. This culminating activity is an excellent opportunity for students to articulate what they have learned about the unique characteristics that create a rainforest and the reasons behind their specific geographic locations.

The presentation can be delivered in various formats, including the use of PowerPoint or any other computer software that supports multimedia elements. Students are encouraged to incorporate different types of media, such as artwork they may have created during the unit, and to select music that will enhance the atmosphere of their presentation. As they prepare for this task, they must focus on planning their approach, monitoring their progress, and evaluating their work upon completion. It is also crucial for the group to decide on the division of roles, ensuring that each member contributes to the final presentation. This process not only helps students understand the intricate ecosystem of rainforests but also develops their teamwork and communication skills.
