Comparing the three London Olympic Games.

Focus: Reading, comprehending, taking notes.

London is the only city in the world to have hosted the Olympic Games 3 times.

Below is a link that will give you information on the three Olympic Games. http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/news/uk-18782392

Task

Open the link.

Read the page (several times).

Take notes so you have the gist (main facts) under each heading.

Do NOT just copy and paste. In class we have been working on your note-taking skills and this is a great opportunity to practice.

You could create a table and fill in each box with your notes. REMEMBER, NOTES HAVE TO MAKE SENSE TO YOU. THEY HAVE TO MAKE SENSE NOT ONLY WHEN YOU MAKE THEM BUT IN THE FUTURE, TOO. FOR THIS TO HAPPEN YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE READ.

THIS IS TO BE HANDED IN ON WEDNESDAY. You will need this information for class work on the Olympics.

Currency: The UK has a different currency to NZ. At the moment 1 British Pound = 2 New Zealand Dollars (approximately)
