In order that you read each of the overviews carefully, you are to answer the following questions about each overview:
- What is the topic you are reading about? olympics
- What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog. "Olympics." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 2 Oct. 2015.
- Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences worldwide sporting event at a country that involves every country in the world to battle in games
- List two to four specific details that support the central idea. The olympics is when every country fights either in winter games or summer games every 4 years, The Olympic Games have a reputation as a unifying global force that celebrates the best of human achievement, regardless of creed or ethnicity. Viewers around the world often find themselves rooting for another nation’s athlete simply because the desire to celebrate excellence knows no borders
- Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea (explicitly or implicitly). Explicit means stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed.
- Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand.I understood all the words in the aticle
- Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?)
- Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down.
- Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion..
Michael, I'm glad to see you got started on the assignment. Remember to put everything in your own words. You wrote: "The Olympic Games have a reputation as a unifying global force that celebrates the best of human achievement, regardless of creed or ethnicity. Viewers around the world often find themselves rooting for another nation’s athlete simply because the desire to celebrate excellence knows no borders." I don't think these are your own words.
