Stretch the activity into a unit plan by spreading the workload over multiple session, focusing on research, design, programming and construction.

Extension

Create a virtual presentation completely in Scratch based on the same extension topic, using this guide:

• Virtual Presentation: Olympic Rings

About Activity

This extension topic pairs with the Interactive Display Board template activity to focus the project on the Olympic Rings and their symbolism.

Follow the template activity guide along with the content focus of the Olympic Rings extension guide to create an interactive multimedia presentation that brings together skills in research, literacy and oratory, arts and crafts as well as digital technologies.

Learners will work independently or as a team to investigate the extension topic, distill information, capture sound, program controls, construct a display and complete a circuit that lets users interact with the presentation to learn about Ngā Rīgni o Ngā Taumāhekeheke o Te Ao, the Olympic Rings.

Use the extension topic activity guide below together with the Interactive Display Board template activity guide.
