=PLAYING TO WIN __- The Olympic Games__ //Ready for feedback :) Thanks//=

This unit is essentially about the Olympic Games. Students will investigate the concept of winning and what they consider to be a winning attitude. They will investigate the necessity of the Olympic Games and delve deeper into victories by looking at historical wars and past humanitarian and social 'wins.' It will also look at some of the injustices faced by people from different nations who are possibly participating in the Olympic Games. It will also look at the Olympic Games itself. The ethos behind the games and an investigation of the history, athletes and creed. Swifter, Higher, Longer. Citius, Altius, Fortius. This unit will then head towards a geography focus and the students will investigate different countries and do a rich task where they have to create a holiday plan - complete with budget and they must investigate their country further. It will also incorporate a trip to the Olympic Games and a couple of 21st century skill centred activities such as designing web pages and blogging.
