Olympics By tk

I had each student choose a country to follow, or group of students, you may want to choose countries ahead of time so they actually pick ones that are doing well. They had to research the countries flag, and the most popular athletes. We also made a bulletin board with all the sports on it, using a graphics program.
I had the students follow their country, keeping track of medals and using newspaper clippings of their athletes. They had to check the paper daily and report on how the country had done.
I also recorded a swimming race, then showed it to them they had to write a newspaper article on it.
I hope this helps.
