This will be an in-class project. Your assignment is to create a Powerpoint presentation of a Canadian athlete competing in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
You first need to go to this website: http://www.ctvolympics.ca/
From there, you need to choose an athlete from one of the Olympic sports: hockey, curling, one of the 3 skating sports, one of the 3 sliding sports, one of the 6 skiing sports, or snowboarding. You may want to choose a sport that you enjoy watching or would like to learn more about.
For your athlete, create a 10-12 slide powerpoint presentation. Your presentation needs to include:
a title page
your athlete's name
birthdate
home
a brief biography
awards won and career highlights
injuries, difficulties, and setbacks (if any)
chances of winning medals
and 2 slides describing the sport
NOTE: You will not be able to copy and paste because there is more information on the website than you can fit in powerpoint slides. You will need to find the important information.
