Winter Olympics
« on: February 08, 2010, 11:31:24 am »
A good topical lesson with the Winter Olympics coming up.

I designed this lesson for my winter English camp but it should also work in February and maybe could be modified as a review of the Winter Olympics in March if Korea is still swept up in Kim Yuna fever.

The lesson is fairly straight forward. I kick off the lesson with some discussion questions about the Olympics. Then I go through each sport and describe how the sport is played and show a short youtube clip to demonstrate.

At the end I do a review quiz as well.

Its a good laid back lesson as the sports clips can take up a lot of the lesson, but its easy enough to throw together a work sheet as well.

Here are the video clips I used:

   Curling: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/dXeXNHRPMMI&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/dXeXNHRPMMI&rel=1</a>

   Luge: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/kfE5fhfi25E&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/kfE5fhfi25E&rel=1</a>

   Bobsleigh: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/QmAdfLlhfzw&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/QmAdfLlhfzw&rel=1</a>

   Speed-skating: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/AH1OZ_hwLps&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/AH1OZ_hwLps&rel=1</a>

   Ski-jumping: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/vWD0HlVG_70&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/vWD0HlVG_70&rel=1</a>

   Snowboarding: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/gPCOin3l8OY&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/gPCOin3l8OY&rel=1</a>

   Hockey: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/k1GBuVy7Jf4&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/k1GBuVy7Jf4&rel=1</a>

   Kim Yuna: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/wB2YwjpGPTM&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/wB2YwjpGPTM&rel=1</a>

Hey all,
I am doing a Winter Olympics themed lesson modified from bza's. I don't have it on this computer, but I did want to share links I found on Naver for olympic videos of all the sports that I came across. I couldn't find any Vancouver footage on youtube so was stoked when I came across these. Here's a list of some links if anyone is interested in doing a post-olympics lesson and wants some footage that works in Korea.
Figure skating:

snowboarding:
