Olympics and Grammar

Today our "I can" statements were: I can brainstorm ideas for research. I can review the grammar we have learned so far.

Intro to Research Unit- Brainstorming Olympics Research Topics

You all worked really hard on the test and comparing and contrasting! Good job. Today we started a new unit- research. We will be researching the Olympics using the process of inquiry. But to get us started we watched some videos of the Olympics and brainstormed possible research topics.
I am researching the cost of the Olympics.
Ms. Tippetts is researching couples figure skating.
Ms. Bramwell is researching downhill skiing.
Other possible research topics include:

• Olympic host cities
• specific athletes or teams
• any Olympic event (winter or summer)
• history of the Olympics
• a specific event in Olympic history

Below are a couple of the videos we watched.

Grammar Review

After watching a few Olympic videos we reviewed grammar by playing a few Olympics inspired game.

The list of games we played and concepts we reviewed is attached below.
