·        Event creators provide all supplies and materials needed for the event.

·        No district property may be destroyed, stolen, or in other ways abused.

·        Event may be either in the classroom or outdoors.  Does not have to be based on speed or strength.  Consider wit, speed, cunning, dexterity, or pure historical knowledge as you design your event.

Mr. Denning's classes, June 7

Using examples from the movie, respond to two of the following prompts on a sheet of notebook paper, 100+ words each:

1. The Springboks were a team that represented apartheid era South Africa. Why do you think Nelson Mandela wanted to keep the team together? Why do you think he was against renaming the team and starting over with a new South African rugby team? 
2. We saw in the final scenes when South Africa won the rugby World Cup that this sport brought people together in a way that had never been seen in South Africa before. Sports have the ability to draw people with many differences together to rally behind a common cause. Can you think of a time that you have rallied behind a sports team and felt part of a larger group because of it? Have you experienced this on different levels (school, city, national or international sporting competitions)? 
3. When Francoise brought the soccer team to the jail to learn about the place where Mandela had been imprisoned, he was shocked and amazed as much as anyone else about Mandela’s living situation for so many years. How did you feel when you saw the cell where he was imprisoned for so long?
4. "Invictus" is a movie based on actual events, while "To Live" is a movie set in a historical context with fictional characters to communicate a story. Compare these two movie making methods. What are the advantages of and limits to retelling a true story through a movie, as opposed to using a fictional story to make a statement about historical events?

Mr. Stauffer's Class June 6-7, 2019

One of the skills we would like you to have is an awareness of world events and how they came about historically.  Here are several sources for world newspapers in English.  Of course if you are fluent in languages other than English you are welcome to read the news in Swahili, Russian or Portuguese.

Your task:

1. Find an article that has some link to some aspect of history we have studied (or maybe not).
2. Briefly summarize the article (20+ words).
3. Describe the link to the past (50+ words).
4. Briefly describe a modern connection to the United States or, why does it matter to us?

Do this for three articles.  You may use the same region for all articles except for Canada and Mexico which you may use for one of the articles.  You may NOT use news sources from the United States of America.
