Mike Dionne Bobsledding Art. Share with students the official posters and the official sports posters of the Nagano Games. Print them out and display them in the room for students to see. Then invite students to create their own posters for one of the Winter Olympic sports or for the games in general. More bar graphs.
Students can work in the same pairs as in the previous two activities.
Provide each team with a copy of Teaching Master 2 . Assign each pair to create a bar graph showing the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals that U.S. athletes won in one of the Winter Olympic Games from 1924 to 1994. Use as a resource the Medals Won By Year from the Winter Games 101 pages of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Web site. Display the graphs side by side in sequence. Post the results for 1998 as soon as the Nagano Games are completed.
