Olympics

The Olympic Games have been extremely exciting this year, and will be over soon. Our first Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) unit will focus on the history of the Olympic games. Work with your technology group to research the Olympic games.

Task #1
Each member of the team needs to write a descriptive paragraph about an Olympic sport, include information about the origin of the game, famous players, and important details about the sport.

Show your rough copy to the editor before you post your reply.

Thank you

Gymnastics dates back to ancient Greece. Greeks practiced gymnastics to prepare for war. Gymnastics was first included in the 1896 Olympic Games. Mary Lou Retton got two perfect scores in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
