AP World Olympics

This is your final task for this course.  This project is valued at 10 assignments (about the value of one big packet).  Have fun!

You’ve been commissioned by the IAPWHOC (International Advanced Placement World History Olympic Committee) to design an event for the upcoming games on June 17 (per. 1, 3, 5) and June 18 (Per. 2, 4, 6)

Event Criteria:

·        Related to World History.  Somehow tied to a concept or theme we’ve studied (not an actual Olympic event like luge, archery, biathlon or ski jumping).

·        All event guidelines or criteria written out. If there are printed copies or materials, you create and submit for necessary duplication.

·        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.

·        Event must be designed for teams of 4 to participate (or a member of the team)

·        Team must have an identifying color(s), flag, banner, headband, uniform, or the like.

·        Each event must last no more than 10 minutes total

·        Each team member must participate in at least 2 events

·        No harm or bodily injury allowed.  Events designed with contact between participants must approved by instructor.

·        No disrespect or humiliation allowed (but appropriate team pride, cheers, chants, encouraged)
