Weekly Activity - Activity 1 ( Day 5 )

Eddie The Eagle!!

Activity 1 - Some Olympic athletes become famous not because they win but because they have an amazing attitude and great determination. They are sometimes called ‘underdogs.’ One of the most famous ‘underdogs’ in Olympic history was a man named Michael Edwards. He was a ski jumper from England who competed in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada. Although he came last in the event, he never gave up. Recently, a movie has been made about his life. It is calledEddie the Eagle.”  For this activity, watch the trailer for Eddie the Eagle and then post a summary of the movie on your blog. What is the movie about?

The movie is about Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael Edwards, an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself even if there was an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach, Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world.

Thanks and have a great holiday!!

  1. Hi Joshua,

    Wow, your summary sounds very professional. Did you find a good website to help you with it or did you cut and paste some information from a site into your blog? It's no problem if you did but you just need to make sure that you include a reference at the bottom of your blog that tells us where you found the information. For example, if you cut and pasted sentences from a site like www.slashfilm.com then you just need to write (Source: www.slashfilm.com).

    As a complete aside, what did you think of the movie trailer? Does it look like a movie that you would want to watch?

    I'd love to know what you think...

    Cheers, Rachel
