Learners will create a presentation on an aspect of Polynesian navigation.

As a class they will divide into groups and research a different aspect of traditional Polynesian navigation:

  • Song
  • Stars
  • Weather
  • Waves
  • Clouds
  • Contemporary navigation

Presentations should be made of their topics  in the form of a PowerPoint, video, podcast, Prezi, drama sketch, etc. A quiz for the rest of the class could be created to accompany this.

Success criteria should be negotiated for the presentation, for example:

  • Length of presentation
  • Visual aid required
  • Awareness of audience
  • Quesion and answers

Learners should be given the opportunity to self or peer-assess against the success criteria and to share their experiences with the rest of the class.
