First, you will be
assigned to a team of 3 students. On this journey, every group
member needs to learn about the role of competitive sports and
recreation in the lives of people with disabilities. Get some
background information by visiting the sites listed below; remember to
take notes in your journal. Phase 1--Background: All Group Members Before
creating your brochure, you must understand the history of the Special
Olympics as well as the role of sports and recreation in the lives of
individuals with disabilities. We have provided you with
appropriate links for several general sources of information. To read about the major historical events about sports and people with disabilities, visit this site: http://www.museumofdisability.org/society_sports.asp To read about the history of the Special Olympic Games specifically, visit this site: http://www.specialolympics.org/Special+Olympics+Public+Website/English/Press_Room/Global_news/40th_Anniversary/How+It+Began.htm Do
you agree with the statement, "Today, it is obvious that great things
can be accomplished by people with disabilities"? Have you
personally seen contributions and milestones being reached by
individuals with disabilities? Phase 2 Looking Deeper: By Group Role The
next step in designing your brochure is to take a role. Each of
you will be researching a specific aspect of the Special Olympic Games
for the creation of the brochure. The roles correspond to the
information you are researching: - Events Researcher--Research the sporting events that are held at most Special Olympic gatherings.

that all 4 members of the group have completed their research, written a
part of the brochure and selected an image to represent their research,
it is time to complete the brochure by designing the brochure
cover and backside. Once the two final pages are completed,
you will import your work onto one brochure and submit it for grading. Step
1. As a group, search for an image that can be used for an
effective cover. You may use Google or search the links listed
above to find an appropriate image. Select and save the image. Step

information to accompany the image you selected for the
cover. Type the information onto the front of the brochure. Step

4. The time has come for you to import all the group members'
work onto one brochure. There are a number of ways to do this
using technology. There are also a number of ways to create a
brochure using old-fashioned cutting and pasting. Either way, be
sure that the manner in which you choose produces a brochure of quality
and can be distributed to those attending a Special Olympics
gathering. Once your work is completed, submit it to your teacher
for grading. |
