Thank you so much for the lesson .I used the worksheets and included two videos:the first one(the unlimited video) as a warmer to make the students express themselves about the difference between 'paralympics' and 'olympics' and the second one(the video about the birth of Wenlock and Mandeville mascots)as a follow-up to worksheet 2 .My students are teenage-athletes,one of them is participating in the London 2012 Paralympics.I added an extension in which they are required to talk about themeselves and their sports careers and feelings about the London2012 Olympics ,they will have to video themselves.The students enjoyed doing the tasks and it was really fruitful and enriching for them.
