- Description:
- After reading the story in our reading basal, "Jim Thorpe," I would introduce this picture to the students on the following day. I would ask questions. I would follow up with this by watching a short clip about Jesse Owens, showing them photos from the Jesse Owens museum and home, and talking about his life before and after the Olympics. Following this history lesson on Jesse Owens, I would extend this lesson by showing various clips and reading short articles on the Olympics today. To close this unit, I would have the students complete a Venn diagram that compared and contrasted the Olympics during Jesse Owens's time and the Olympics today.
