The timing for the demonstration part of this task may be difficult to control. You will need to keep a close eye on the time so the students dont go over the time limit. Make sure you allow only 55 minutes per demonstration as it may get out of hand very quickly.
 * Time management:** The example documents below will save some time. The example record keeping document will save alot of time for the teacher. Also the exmaple PowerPoint for the students will save some time, the students can spend more time researching. The idea of the example PowerPoint is so the students know what sort of information they need to discuss with the class. The students can freely edit the PowerPoint just as long as they keep the main headings mostly the same.


 * Activity Management:** When the students are presenting their PowerPoints, make sure the rest of the class is being respectful and are not disrupting the speakers. As expected the students will get nervous, so you want to make the class as quiet and calm as possible. There is nothing worse than getting infront of the class and have everyone still talking and being disruptive.

The students could also make a class website, this can be somewhere were the students can upload their PowerPoint presentations. If any students want a bit of a refresher before the sports carnival, they can log onto the class website and look up the sport they want. This would build on the students knowledge of technology.
 * Activity extension ideas:** The students could carry on researching sports (that would be in the sports carnival) and show the other students how to play. This idea would not have the PowerPoint, as it takes up more time. The students could work in different groups than they did before, so they can get to know more students in the class and make the class more connected with each other. This would keep the students fit and prepared for the upcoming sports carnival.
