The History of the Olympics
ATHLETIC HEROES
The Olympic Games start this year in August the host city being Beijing in China.
What do you really know about the Olympics?
Task One
Pretend you are a reporter for an Australian National Newspaper and write an article titled THE HISTORY OF THE OLYMPICS, what we as Aussies need to know.You will need to include the ancient history of the Olympics so basically where it all began and the development of all of the sports through the years. Pictures will be useful.
As your title uses the word ‘Aussies’ you will have to include some element in your response to Australia so you may like to include some information about some famous Australian Athletes, the year Melbourne hosted the Olympic games or the organisation it takes to get our athletes to the Olympics.
You should aim for about 350 words and you must make your article look like it is from newspaper, so paragraphs, headings, sub headings and pictures with captions.
