Have you ever been frightened by places you’ve read about in books or seen in movies or on television? What if those places were under consideration for hosting the Olympics? Can you IMAGINE???
Spark your thinking!
1. Set up your language arts mini spark recording page: #19: Awful (fictional)Olympic Host Cities
2. What cities have hosted the summer or winter Olympic games? Go to this page, read the intro and look over the list. Record 5 of the cities on your recording sheet. Find them on the map and find 3-5 facts about that city.
3. Go to the following link and read about the 6 fictional places that the author hopes NEVER hosts the Olympics. Add all 6 places to your recording sheet and explain why it would be an awful venue. If you haven’t heard of the place or don’t understand the information about the location, do some research so you can tell why it is so terrible.
4. Think about books you have read, movies or tv show you have seen. What fictional place do you hope never hosts the Olympics and why? Please add 3 responses and reasoning to your recording sheet.
