Winter Olympic Sports - ESL Lesson

I wanted to talk about the upcoming Winter Olympics, and it is always more fun to show videos to students of each event. But I couldn't find any compilation on youtube so I decided to make my own. The video quality isn't great, but hopefully it can be used for simple teaching purposes. I also have created an accompanying PPT and worksheet to go with this which is available here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9XSQINE9

Good luck team Canada in 2010!!!!

Hello, thanks for the cool video. I used it for my assembly :) What is the title/ artist of this song? Thanks

@Justine28031984 Glad you liked it! The track is called "Stellify" by Ian Brown, former lead singer of the Stone Roses. It's a great tune.

Thanks a lot for the compilation! There is one mistake though: in your movie "speed skating" is in fact another type of "short track". And there is Nordic combined missing :)

Thank you anyway!

@metalww. I know, I completely forgot about Nordic, but according to the IOC Speed Skating and Short Track are two different types of events, so that is why I put them both in. Thanks for your comment :-)
