Once you have been allocated your group of 3 or 4 members you will be required to choose one yoga pose that you are going to research and present to the class. Your presentation will be in the form of a 2-3 minute instructional video, you can choose to use just a digital camera or incorporate web-based programs such as YouTube for your recording.

Your video will show the other members of the class how to do the yoga pose you have chosen. You will need to talk the class through each step so every student paticipating in the yoga exercise does it safely and correctly. You will also need to include in your video the benefits the yoga pose of your choice has on digestion.

You may choose to include a power point presentation in your instructional video, to assist the class with learning the yoga pose and how it benefits digestion.



You are required to use the internet for your research and include suitable yoga music in your instructional video. All research and tools will be available online and communication available via the Yola class website.

Each group will be allocated a day to use the electronic whiteboard to learn about yoga and digestion. You can use the interactive whiteboard resource to test each others knowledge and understanding about how yoga benefits digestion. You can also practice daily, your performance for your yoga film. Use the class Yola website account to share your learning with your peers and ask questions.

During the last week each group will present their films to the class. The class will participate in the yoga and learn about how each pose aids digestion. Each video will be loaded onto the Yola class website and become part of a complete class yoga instructional video. This will be able to be viewed by the students and presented to the parents at the end of the school term.
