Lesson Starters

The Lesson Starters are a collection of lesson ideas related to the Vancouver 2010 Education Program components.  The goal of the lesson starters is to give teachers a series of individual lessons that they can use or modify to suit their particular classroom needs.

Teachers are encouraged to share any lessons they have developed that touch on the Vancouver 2010 Education Program themes. Download the template, fill in the appropriate areas and complete the submission form to submit. All submitters whose entries are added to the database will be eligible for Olympic themed prizes.

Be sure to document your projects by taking photos, video and/or even audio and showcase your school in the /EDU Project Showcase area. Your school can win great prizes by submitting content!
