  The resource introduces students to the Olympics, uncovering the Olympic symbols whilst preparing them for a school-based Olympic celebration held in the language they are learning. The celebrations will take place on Olympic Day - Friday 20 June 2008.

  This resource is *not* recommended! The activities are very low-level and do not enhance Languages learning outcomes. For example, reading aloud a paragraph translated from English into the TL (the translation is given, reading a paragraph aloud is the entire task!) is not a very valuable learning experience. Likewise constructing a flag or an olympic torch is an Art activity, not a Languages one. The suggested activities need adapting - constructing a flag using the TL as the language of instruction and engagement would be beneficial. Running a torch relay with teams shouting words/phrases of encouragement in the TL after planning the route in the TL on a TL map of the school would be another. As it is? These "Languages" activities are best left for S&E and Arts classes.
