What are the Olympic Games?

My classroom had to write an explanation about the Olympics. We included who,what,where and when. 
We wrote in paragraphs. 
What are the Olympic Games?
The Olympics are a number of different sporting events.  They are held in a different country every four years with athletes from different countries.
 Medals                                         
At the Olympics you get a medal if you get first, 2nd or third place. The gold medal is not completely gold, it is silver with a thin layer of gold on the top. If you’re not in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place you won’t get a medal.
What Team Sports Are
At the Olympics team sports are when you work in a team. These are some examples of team sports: hockey, rugby and rowing.
What Individual Sports Are
Individual sports are when you work by yourself in a sport. These are some sports when you work by yourself: golf and swimming.
Conclusion / Opinion
In conclusion, I think the opening and closing ceremony is a great waste of money.  My opinion is that the Olympics should still be held but not cost a ton of money.

  1. Hi Alex, it's very clear what each paragraph is about. Did your headings help you with this?
    Maybe next time you could add more detail in each paragraph so that you have three-four sentences in each paragraph.
