| Olympic Fever! |
|
| The 2008 Beijing Olympics are still fresh in our minds as we explore "Olympism". Students will learn that even in a world of vast differences and clashing cultures, the ideals of unity, patriotism, perseverance, and excellence are universal. |
Winning the Bid! |
| Students will create an original country with all the elements for winning a bid for a future Olympics. Through research, we are learning that it takes a multitude of ideas, talents, businesses, and resources to convince the International Olympic Committee that an area is capable of hosting the world's most prestigious sporting event. The projects involve creativity, analysis of history, map skills, economics, and team work! |
