Summative Assignment
The 2010 Winter Olympics
Congratulations! You have made it to the final three weeks of BTT and are now ready to start you final project. Your summative is designed to review all of the skills you have acquired throughout the course, and is a chance to show off your abilities. Your summative is all about the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Your tasks:
1. Write a brief (1-2 page) report on the History of the Winter Olympics. Include such facts as when the first Winter Olympics were held, how many times and where they have been held in Canada, and where the 2010 Winter Olympics are being held. Include some interesting facts and any information you think is relevant. How many Canadians will be participating? How many volunteers will be helping? A map would be a nice addition. (Formatting: Arial, 12pt font, 1.5 spacing) You must include 3 references.
2. Create a spreadsheet to calculate the medal count for at least 25 participating countries. You must include at least one country from each continent save for Antarctica. The list should be alphabetical. The medals are Gold, Silver and Bronze; you will need to create a formula to calculate the total earned for each country (medal count). Submit ONLY the formula sheet. You must include references.
3. Select a sport (we will decide as a class). Research that sport and write some rough notes for yourself. Include rules, details, some Canadian athletes involved, where it will be taking place (stadium? Whistler?), etc.
4. Design a poster and a ticket to an event for your selected sport. Use actual information (find out the date and time, where, teams if applicable, etc.). You could use templates.
5. Select one Canadian athlete from your sport and write their biography. Make them a ‘hockey card’. The card should include their name, height, weight, sport, photo, training schedule, accomplishments, and any relevant personal information.
6. Create a presentation about your selected sport and athlete using a presentation software program. Include the information you previously gathered and enhance your presentation with images, videos, sounds, etc. Be creative! You will be presenting on either January 20th or 21st.
