Your Task
You have
been employed to write a spectator's pamphlet explaining how one Olympic sport is played. The pamphlet is to include information about the equipment needed by the athletes, what athletes do when competing and some important rules of the sport.
Resources
Here are
some websites that may help you:
kidcyber
Olympics pages
http://www.olympic.org/uk/games/beijing/index_uk.asp
You should
also search for other websites about your chosen sport, and use
books, videos and other library resources.
The Process
Write some questions to focus and guide your research.
For example: What equipment is needed for ______?
What venue is used for the sport?
Other questions will begin with Who? When? How many?
and so on.
Print some kidcyber data charts, then write your questions and make notes and sketches that will help answer each question. When you have enough information, start writing yout text for the pamphlet making up your own sentences. Arrange the sentences in a satisfactory order.
Don't forget to check your spelling. Have your teacher check
your first draft before you start the on the final draft for the
pamphlet. (You might ask other students or adults to proof
read your draft and suggest changes or additions too!)
Presentation
A pamphlet
is usually one sheet of paper. Yours can be A4 size and
folded any way you like. Both sides of the paper is used for text.
Find suitable small illustrations,or do your own drawings, to
help explain and illustrate your text.
Copies of the
completed pamphlet will be shared with class mates who will listen
while you talk briefly about the sport. (Don't just read
it!) They will be invited to comment on how well your pamphlet
has explained the sport.
Evaluation
After
your presentation, think about how you went in this project. Use
an assessment
sheet and
rate how you think you did, then discuss it with your teacher.
