This lesson plan aims to teach students about the Olympic and Paralympic Games through various activities. It begins with a warm-up involving questions about Olympic heroes from Uruguay. Students then complete a KWL chart about what they know, want to know, and have learned about the Games. They practice identifying Olympic symbols and vocabulary through worksheets. Students also work in groups coming up with phrases related to the Games and definitions, then swap sheets to solve matching tasks. The lesson wraps up by having students complete the "Learned" column of the KWL chart and do a self-assessment of what they learned.
