The International Olympic Committee has decided to hold a
Junior Olympics during the next Summer Olympic Games. The committee has invited
students from around the world to form teams and participate in that event. You
and other students in your class hope to try out for the Junior Olympics, but
first you have to plan how you will prepare for the competition.
Working in teams, you will choose a sport to compete in,
research what you need to do to prepare physically and mentally for the
competition, and then create a PowerPoint presentation outlining your
preparation plan.
- Step 1: The team chooses a sport to compete in.
(First come, first served.)
- Step 2: Each member of the team chooses one of
the following roles:
- The Dietitian creates a team nutrition plan.
- The Trainer sets up a physical fitness plan.
- The Coach develops policies of good
sportsmanship.
- The Team Captain explores the history your sport
in the
Olympics and determines the official rules for participation.
- Step 3: Each member of the team uses appropriate
online resources as well as library resources, if available, to research the
information needed to complete his or her assignment. Each researcher should
take notes and create a bibliography for his or her research.
- Step 4: The team works together to decide what
information in each category should be included in the PowerPoint
presentation.
- Step 5: Each member of the team creates three to
five PowerPoint slides illustrating the information he or she has collected.
Group members should compile all slides into one PowerPoint with all
resources sited in a bibliography at the end of the PowerPoint. Please
drop in the appropriate drop folder on the Y drive.
- Step 6: Each group member narrates their portion of
the PowerPoint during their presentation.
