8 Orange 06

A new week, a new task.

Thank you to those have completed the set work and emailed me to let me know. I should by now have commented on your 1st 2 blog posts.

Please make sure that you have completed the correct task for Task 2 — that is the task we wrote in our journal about giving the speech not the creative task from “Two Weeks with the Queen.”

I am still waiting for some of you to email me your blog url’s and let me know you have finished the tasks set — if this is you please do so immediately or I will be forced to send letters home about non-completion of tasks !!!

THIS WEEKS TASK IS:

Australia is a sporting nation — we live,and breathe sport.

Choose one of the following as the basis for a piece of writing:

1) Sportsmen & women have a responsibility to their counrty and their fans to behave in appropriate manner.

Discuss the behaviour of sports people, there obligations to their fans and their country. Use examples from news and current affairs — cricketers, soccer players, footballers. How do their on and off field behaviour reflect on them, their sport, and out nation.

2) This Sporting Nation: We as Australians are sports mad.

What do you think this means, what does it say about our culture, what is the tradition of sport in this country, what if you aren’t a sports freak??? Are there any examples of Aussies being sports mad ?? Recently ??? or in the past ???

3) The day we won (or lost)  the biggest match in the world. 

What sport was it, where were you, what were you doing, did you see the match or only hear about it, if you were there — what was it like — how did it smell, sound, and feel.
