Show it! Group presentation - Famous people and events - Year 2

In a dynamic educational setting for Year 2 pupils, the "Show it! Group presentation" activity is an engaging way to encourage children to explore and share their knowledge of influential figures and significant events that have shaped history. The activity aims to culminate the learning process by providing students with the chance to present their findings to their classmates. This presentation can take many forms, potentially involving staff-created PowerPoint slides to showcase ongoing learning, or allowing the students to express their creativity and understanding in their own unique way.

Working collaboratively in small groups of up to six, children can delve into the lives and legacies of notable individuals such as Neil Armstrong, the pioneering astronaut; Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid revolutionary; Emmeline Pankhurst, the suffragette leader; and Malala Yousafzai, the young advocate for girls' education. They may also choose to present on monumental events like the sinking of the Titanic or the concept of fairness in society. Each group is tasked with researching their chosen topic and creating an informative and engaging presentation. Starting with a friendly "Good Morning," they will confidently introduce their subject matter, using the phrase "I would like to tell you about…" to engage their audience and effectively "SHOW IT!"
