Olympics - Inquiry

As part of our inquiry unit this semester, "Our diverse and changing world", we have been looking at the Olympics. On Wednesday afternoons we are pairing up with Room 14 to do a lot of research based tasks. So far we have:
-Discussed what Olympism is
-Researched Pierre de Courbetin (who introduced the modern Olympics)
-Investigated and compared the Ancient Olympics to the Modern Olympics
-Created fact files on Brazil

Below is a couple of videos we have watched in class.
1. This video shows a general/fun summary of the Ancient Olympics that we used as an introduction
