Day 2: Breaking the Rules!
Wk6: Reading with Teacher
Breaking the Rules: Olympic athletes are always looking for something to make them a little better than other competitors. At such a high level of competition as the Olympic Games, a little edge can determine who’s getting the gold medal, who’s getting the silver, and who’s getting the bronze. Although breaking the rules to get ahead or to take that winning spot can be tempting, it can also be devastating after years of hard work.
Before watching discuss:
