Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in a city that is set to host the next Olympic Games? Or maybe you do live in one, and you’ve seen the record-breaking event yourself. Regardless, it leads one to wonder if being an Olympic Host city is really worth all the money, the crowds, etc. This year, you can get your students in on some Olympic action with a fun new inquiry and speech writing task from Teach Starter!

For this inquiry research task, students are required to:

• research the history of the Olympic host cities and the selection process
