This competition is all about snow and ice.?Opponents?race and jump on skis. They fly 90 miles an hour down a track on bobsleds. Snowboarders jump and twist on courses of packed snow. Figure skaters make fantastic jumps and create beautiful?arches?in their backs as they twirl on the ice.2Athletes go to the Games with great hopes. All?yearn?to become champions. Some come back home with medals. Others don't win anything. All come back with one thing in common: They have had the experience of being an Olympic athlete.A Brief History of the Olympic Games3The first Olympic Games took place about three thousand years ago in ancient Greece. The earliest competition was a?modest?event. The racers ran a short distance on foot—only 210 yards! Later, more races were added. Events in wrestling, jumping, and throwing were also added. Then the Romans conquered Greece, and the Olympic Games eventually disappeared.4In 1896, the first modern Olympics were held. The first Games were the summer Games, but people were already talking about a winter event. In 1924, the first winter Games were held.The Modern Winter Olympics5Many changes have come about in the past nine decades of Winter Olympic competition. At first, professional athletes were not allowed to participate. In 1988, an agreement was signed that?granted?professionals the right to compete. Some of the first professional winter Olympic athletes played on ice hockey teams.6Today, technology helps with the?grave?responsibilities that come with judging Olympic events. Such technology can?clarify?who wins and who loses. In skiing and skating, a race can be won by fractions of a second. Today, computers make it easier to determine who wins and by how much. Also, judges may review an event on video. Doing so can help them decide if a first-place finish is?valid.Going for the Gold7In individual competition, the top three finishers of an event each earn a medal. The first place medal is gold. The second place is silver, and the third place is bronze. Today, an?authentic?gold medal is only part gold. Solid gold medals are too expensive to make. After each event, the top three finishers stand on a platform. Each country's flag is raised. The gold medal winner listens to his or her country's national anthem. Tears may follow. It is an emotional occasion. At that moment, the athlete has been?declared?the best in his or her sport.Unit 23: Agent (Word Study Kit 1) *This can be found at Benchmark Literacy on Launchpad.Directions March 23-27, 2020Monday: (3L4/5 Determine the meaning of words) Read and view your Sadlier vocabulary words at vw (Your book is the green Vocabulary Workshop) There is no need to log-in.

Young Amelia showed no interest in airplanes. She was, on the other hand, interested in women who did?admirable?things. She collected newspaper articles about women who were engineers and lawyers. In the 1920s, it was unusual for females to have such careers.2Years later, people would read about Earhart herself. Her?devotion?to flying would one day make her famous.3Earhart's interest in flying was?kindled?by an exciting experience she had as a young woman. She had gone to an air show. At one point, Earhart heard a?distant?hum and looked up. A small red airplane was heading straight toward her and a friend. The plane flew so close that it blew Earhart's hair out of place. She was thrilled.4When Earhart was twenty-three, she flew on her first airplane. A year later, she took her first flying lesson. Six months after that, she bought an airplane.5In 1928, Earhart got a phone call. The man on the line wanted her to be the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Was she interested? Earhart didn't have to think twice. An?automatic?reply of "Yes!" flew out of her mouth.6Two men flew the plane. Earhart made history just by being a passenger. That flight gave her an idea, though: Why couldn't she be the first woman to pilot the same route? In 1932, she achieved her goal. She became the first woman to fly a plane across the Atlantic.7In 1931, Earhart married George Putnam. As she became more famous, she flew more often. Putnam supported Earhart's passion for flying. He didn't mind the long?separations?that the trips caused. His support helped her try new things.8In 1935, she achieved her next goal. She flew across the Pacific Ocean alone. This flight was 2,408 miles long and would?exhaust?anyone. Yet Amelia was determined. At one point during the flight, the weather was?dreary?and cold. To warm herself, she opened a thermos of hot chocolate. She later told people that it was a special moment. There she was, sipping hot chocolate as she flew alone over the middle of the Pacific Ocean!9In 1937, Earhart planned another trip. No other woman had flown around the world yet. She wanted to be the first! She hoped that this?stunt?would be her last. Sadly, it did become her final trip. Somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, Amelia Earhart's airplane disappeared.10No one knows for sure what happened. She might have crashed in the ocean or on an island. Whatever occurred, Amelia Earhart has a place in history. Today, she is a symbol of courage and adventure.Some of the planes Earhart flew are now at the Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.1.
