New Olympic Event

Students are to present a new event to the Olympic committee. They can make up any details they wish. Students have one more class to work on their presentation. They will present on Thursday, December 17th.

Winter Olympics Wiki

Your wiki is due on Thursday, December 3rd. We will be working on them on November 24th and 26th. That will give you four classes and over two weeks to complete the project. The good thing about wikis is that they can't be handed in last. I will lock all the pages on Thursday evening and mark them soon after.
