I think that the Greek’s trained for the Olympics and then they became very strong and then they became appealing. I think that when they did the mile run I think we should be able to do that. Then the winner can pick the next challenge. Then for body decorations we should paint our face half white because of our pants and half blue because of our shirts. Then for decorations we can have posters and a big banner.

I think that the Olympics got their appeal with how exciting and violent they were. It really gave some one something to watch. I think we can make the Greek Olympics just as appealing if it is very interesting. If we use things like body & hair glitter, I think it could improve the interest of other people. We could decorate the Olympics with a type of Greek theme. I think if every one puts there best in to it, we will have a great time!

I think what gave the Olympic games great appeal was the activities, because a lot of the activities where fun for most of the people. A lot of them liked to watch the games. I think we can make a big poster of the six rings, or decorate things like the old times (Greeks). That is what I think we should do to make our six grade Olympics appealing.

I think we would have a great olympic team if everybody can just work as a
team .Then if we can have a team captin it would be a lot better cause everyone can just listen to him or her. Then people need to go where there good at cause it would be a lot better for the team. And if everyone is yelling at each other it would be the worst thing cause then people are gonna fight. Then we might get kick out the olympic's After we won't have no chance of wining. Thats why the team captin thing work's.

They gave the Olympics good games like the boxing and the shudder run. The Olympic bake then was bad because the games were that if you don’t win you get mock at. The way you win is by deify or K, O or surrendering. The games back then are like the games over here. If we make some of the games over here like the games over there it will be better because we know a lot about the games over there so we can win if the games over here is like the games some of the games. Or else some of the games will be bad. Some of the games will be hard for some people and that wont be fun and not fare.

I think the fact that people came and participate in the Greek Olympic is the reason why that the Olympic games are a great appeal. I think if we can paint our faces a same type of color it will be fun. We should make banners represent our grade, academy, and cohort that would also be fun. After the games we should have food to eat and enjoy.

idris A2 said...

I think we should do the same thing as the current Olympics. Also we should have a lot of parties after the Olympics. If we had colors the colors should be red and black. I think we should put yellow dust on ourselves like the pro’s do. I don’t think we should do body decoration. I don’t think that because it might make people look weird. Also it might be hard to take off.

tiffany a2 said...

I think they showed hard work just to come in first place. They also showed how strong they could be during the games. I also think because they show all of strengths to be known as number one in the sprint or the 1-mile run. We could serve foods that look like the food from Greece. We could also make people dress up like there from Greece and have a great time

I think that the ancient Olympic were appealing because people thought if they had great talent why cant they express it and that people love the violence and even though they died they died with pride. To make our 6th grade Olympics appealing as well as the ancients Greeks we should have colorful banners and all were the same and chare and don’t give like the Greeks did (except don’t die). Also I think if we decoration and let some other people come then they might tell how good a2 6th grade is at Olympic (because were the best). Also I think its going to be appealing because were doing jut for fun even though were going to when.

Ashley a2 said...

I think that the events the Greek Olympics had made their Olympics way better. I think that because the people that went to go watch the Olympics didn’t want to just see the same event all the time like running. They also wanted to see boxing and other stuff too. I also think that the body decorating made a great appeal to the Greek Olympics. I think that because the dust the athletes put on their body to make them glow made them look good for the Olympics.

Veronis Sanches 6C said...

I think that certain decorations and the events that went with them made the Olympics appealing. For the sixth grade Olympics I think that we should make Greek like decorations. For example, Greek- like banners, and other things that they had. Maybe we should make the leaf crowns to wear. We should have events like tug of war, the high jump, a race, and more.

I think that what gave the Olympics great appeal is that how they didn’t do all the activities all at once. They split them up into different periods. What I also fount appealing is how they sprinkled dust over their bodies. What I think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks is that instead of the dust we can put glitter on our faces or some face paint.

indiana said...

The Olympic games great appeal is that a lot of people went to see them run. What I think the 6th grade should do for the Olympics for it could be a great appeal just like the Real Olympics is have things that are physical in the Olympics because in the real Olympics games they had a lot of physical stuff to do. Also what 6th grade should do for the Olympics to be just like the Greeks is also make it look like over they’re like the shuttle run. That will be fun but only a mile.

What I think gave the Greeks Olympics appeal was that they showed how much they waned to win. I also think that they were positive that they were going to win, and when you be positive of something is good because, you have a better change that it could happened. I think that we need to be positive that we are going to win, because Academy two is the best! I think that we should bring a red t-shirt representing Academy two team. I also think that we should take red pint and put in our faces A2! I think that for this event we need to bring a lot of water! We should also need to work as a community. =p

What do you think gave the Olympic games great appeal? What do you think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks? (Events, food, decorations, body decorating, etc)




We could make it appalling by face painting each city-state a certain color then we could have a food stand for every academy and we could have a banner so when people walk by they are able to now what is going on. Also it would look appalling if when people Wales by they don’t hear you suck or you cant run fast enough but they here a lot of cheering on each other and giving every body support because when you do one thing wrong other people to do it to.
That will cause no fun for any one.

BUT REMEMBER IF YOUR NOT FIRST YOUR LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks?Well I think we should have food because we are going to do a lot of event. Also some drinks cause we are going to be running.

amauris said...

I think what gave the Olympic games great appeal is that it’s a place that you can get glory from. It’s a place that you will be known as a winner or a loser. I don’t think that anything should change because it’s basically the same, both have games to play and to become a winner.

luisa baez lara :) said...

I think that the ancient Olympic were appealing because people thought they had great talent. Also because they was violent. To make the 6TH Grade Olympics appealing I think we should have colorful banners. Also if everyone works as a team because we all know that everyone don’t get along. If someone decorates the place I think it will be better because like that there can be colors around and it will look better. But we All Knoe That A2 Is Going To Win Because We Are The Best .

The Greek Olympics

What gave the Greek Olympics the appeal was some of the activates that the Greeks did. The one thing that most appealed then was when the Olympics can and then they started to do the sprint, because a lot of the people practiced and trained a lot of years and months just for the Olympics. What also made them appealing was how they put a sparkling dust on them before the Olympics. What we should do tot make our thing go great is we should put sparkles on our face and for other body decorations we should wear the colors for what ever group that were in. For the food we should look on our computers for Greek for that looks good. For decorations we should put the Greek flag and the Greek colors of the flag.

What do you think gave the Olympic games great appeal? What do you think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks? (Events, food, decorations, body decorating, etc).

I think what gave the Greek Olympics great appeal was that they use to be things that happened differently then what happens now they use to mock the losers now they congratulate the losers. They used to box and to win used to be knockout, death, or surrender now its knockout, or tap out. They also used to even take out your eyeball in wrestling now they don’t do that they don’t wrestle so aggressive. There were a lot of things that they did in the past that we don’t do now. What can make our 6th grade Olympics appealing as the Greek Olympics? Some things that can make our 6th grade Olympics appealing is to cheer, when people cheer that can give you a positive thinking as Mr. turner always says “thinking positive will have a positive affect in your health” and that’s a fact. For example when your in a basketball game and you say or think in your head “oh yeah, I’m going to make this shot.” Then you have an about 56% chance that your going to make that shot. Also what can help are 6th grade Olympics is water and nutrition that can help you have a lot of energy and excitement for the Olympics. Sometimes people do not help your thinking because if you’re a total nervous person then you’ll get too nervous and maybe lose a few games but also if you’re a nervous person what can help is to look away from the people and imagine yourself alone in the place you are in and BOOM! Problem solved.

PRINCESS DUHART 6a said...

I think that the Olympic games great appeal is that the Olympic games entertains the audience, the athletes believed that they could win, the athletes also where yellow dusty sand. We can 6th grade Olympics as appealing by doing using similar Events, food, decorations, and body decorating; instead of yellow dusty sand and oil we could use some lotion we could also do face painting .we can use events such as the sprint. We cold drink water before an event. As the Greek entertained there audience we could do the same by setting up stanzas we could celebrate the winners and still cheer on the losers.

Dhakiya a2 said...

What gave the Olympic games great appeal is that is that. One either you won or you lost. Two they were very spirited. Three they had a ceremony that very night to celebrate to the gods for the game. Four they were very ferocious when it came to winning. What we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks is to. Have a party before the Olympics begin. Also I think we should have a very (well not to much) but a (at least two colored) outfit to match our city-state colors. Also I think we should have like our own god/goddess that we choose to celebrate at the party. I think we should have festive foods like (apple slices, ice cream, cookies, cake, ect). I also think we should hang a banner over the academy entrance to say which city-state A2 is. For the race we should decorate our faces white and red. Red the color of blood and white the color of tout pants .Also I think we should wear glitter so we can shine in the light

Tasha 6D said...

I think the Greek Olympics where so great because its been going on for many years and, it seems like a big deal to people and according to how they did things then, it mattered a lot to people. It was a time to have fun and watch some interesting things that get people excided. But its different today, its less dangerous.

We can make our 6th grade Olympics fun and excided like it was long ago. Back then they where completely naked with no color. But we can have a color for each team. And we can have food like there was before, and music and decorations and more. We can still have the common events like, running, and wrestling. And some that are not common in the Greek Olympics like, swimming. All these things us 6th graders can do in our Greek Olympics

havannah said...

I think that all the different types of games were appealing to the Olympic.
I also think that it was like the adatues of the people how the starve to win. The crowd was cheering them on because they were happy.
I think that at our Greek olimpics that we are having we should make posters for our team to support them. I also think that we should have I think that it will be a good idea it we make our team where like the same colors so we can act as a community.
Maybe we can do face painting. We should before we start to play the games we should say like a chant so like saying that we know we are going to do a good job and try our hardest.

fatah a2 said...

The Olympic games had many great appeals. One thing that gave it great appeal was the brutality of the athletes in the boxing or wrestling part. Another thing that made a great appeal is the way the athletes were determined to win. They would have risked their own lives to win the games. The Olympic games were important to many people. That is why the Olympic games had great appeals.
It can be made appealing by doing most of the same events as them. I would not do the lethal stunts they did but other things that weren’t dangerous would be great. We should also do the same decorations. It would be more appealing if it were colorful decorations. We should also get some of the fruits that the ancient Greeks ate. That is what would make it more appealing

Anais A2 said...

I think what gave the Olympic games great appeal was all the people that was there. I think that it is the people because they will clap for them. They would scream the persons name that they want they want that person to win the Olympic. I think that it was the people playing in the Olympic that was appeal. Thay were appealing because they would do what they can to win. That is what I think gave the Olympic games great appeal.


What I think we can do for our 6th grade Olympics is that we can have some games they played back then. Everyone can try to bring different kinds of food. We can do boards we our team name on it and pick a color that we want and color it that color. I think that we can pick a color and paint our face. We can have an event where people get first, second, and third place. That is what I think we can do for our 6th grade Olympics.

Deandre O a2 said...

I think what gave the Olympic games great appeal was that it was a chance for athletes to show case their talents. Also because the Olympic games held in Greece were all about celebrating Zeus the god of all gods so people came to worship him. I think it was also appealing because it was a place to be entertained and to enjoy your self. I think that in order to make our Olympic games as appealing we need to have plenty of fun games. Also for the Greek it was also about victory and fame so we should have medals. As for refreshments we should have plenty of water for the most important event, the sprint. This will help keep the runners fit and not cause dehydration. Secondly we should have healthy snacks so as in case a runner didn’t eat breakfast a healthy snack will keep them going. For banners we should make the colorful and creative so it shows our team spirit. Finally I think the events should be greatly similar to the ones held at the first Olympic games except a bit less violent.

Brittany valdez said...

What I think gave the Olympic games appeal is that there are series of sports events played by many different people from different places. Also, that the Olympics comes around every four years. In ancient times it was a big thing because when you enter and you win many would honor you, but if you lost you were shammed. And now in days the Olympics is a place were you can represent your country whether you win or loss you are still cheered on by many. That’s what made the Olympics appealing.

One of the thing I think that we should do at the Olympics is when someone win the final we should give that leaf like crown with the metal so we could represent the Greek times. Another thing I think we should definitely have a sign to represent each of the countries. Also win an A2 wins we should have an A2 sign .We should also have some fake torches to make the setting to look like a Greek setting. Lastly, we should have like grapes and fruit because in a lot of Greek films and non-fiction stories I always see grape and other fruits. Plus fruit are very healthy to eat. That’s what I think we should do for the 6th grade Olympics.

What made the Greek Olympics great appeal? I think the strive to win is one of the things that gave the Greek Olympics so much appeal because each person did all the could do to win. Another thing that could of gave the Olympics such appeal is that the challenges where not timed so they could go on all day if it had to. One more thing that could have made the Greek Olympics so appealing is the competitor that might have risked their lives to get to the top so the Olympics would be named after him. Those are a couple of reasons why I think the Greek Olympics so appealing.
What can make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the Greeks? One thing that we can do to make our Olympics as appealing as the Greeks is to be able to were body paint like the Greeks wore dust. Another thing that can make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the Greeks is if we have most of the events that they did like the marathon, the disk through, and wrestling. One more thing we can do that the Greeks did that we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the Greeks is if we have food their like the Greeks did when they held their Olympics. Those are a few suggestions I would use to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the Greeks.

What do you think gave the Olympic games great appeal? What do you think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks? (Events, food, decorations, body decorating, etc)
Some thing that we can do to make our Greek Olympics like the ancient Olympics is that we can do some of the things that they did so that it would seem like we were back then also like the question says we can put deorations up and make food like they did so that we can see an fee l how it was back then we they were doing these Olympics. I think that we should do that because it would like more interesting about why they did it the way that they did and also get to no more about it then we do now. I hope that we do have a lot of fun doing this Greek Olympics and I hope that we get 2 no more about it

-- What I think gave the Olympic games great appeal is when they are fighting, the audience is waiting to see who’s going to die or get injured. Also how certain people fought other people. To me, the most appealing thing from the Olympic games was the violence. That’s what most people think too. What we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks is by having a lot of decorations and body decorating. Maybe we can wear some of what the ancient Greeks wore. Like some clothes that has holes in it. And whoever is the winner, we can give them that crown that is made out of leaves. And for the food, we should have some different kind of food. Food that we are not really use too. (:

I think what gave the Olympic games appeal I that it stands for peace and the fact that women get to do what men get to do and don’t just have to cook and clean all day. I think what made it appeal is that you get to challenge other people. I think thy made it appeal because its about honor. The way we can make it appealing is, we can use the methods that the Greeks used for throughing. To make it more appealing we can have some games that they had, that we don’t have but we all can play. We can have the food organized the way theirs was. The decorations we can have are banners that say are were team name.

manuel baez said...

Well when I saw that greek Olympics that’s was really outstanding because most of the Olympics that we saw was really cool. And people get to win games. And they will do a sprint run. And they did was the jumping one that they needed to get a weight and then you jump up and after that they let go on the weight of it. After that they put dirt on them because that’s a other to be faster for each events and beat them all and the winner will be that one that won the first event that they had and there were boxing and other good thing. And mostly the winner gets every thing. Then they need to win the final challenge they had.


But my favorite part when the man that won the challenge that they give for to win and they had some good, and people father went to see their son fight with the person he was doing an some people got killed in second because they could use every thing what they needed to kill him. People still clap for the person that try his best of win the events. That how they got their events from trying their best with dose event. They were done.

What gave the Olympics the great appeal was the
Boxing and the wrestling and just all the fighting .
What made it so appealing to me was the part when
They was fighting with those metal hand things.
I love to fight so I might just win every single game.
The least game I think ,is the disc throwing. it does
Grab my attention very much.

I think we should have other grades come and cheer us
On while we do the race and other activities. We have like popcorn
And soda for the people that are watching us . We should have
Everybody make a banner for the person they want to win the games.
Then everybody takes a break. I can’t wait till the Olympics and when
I come in second place because Kellie will be first and I will be second.

The Greek Olympics

June 8,2009

What I think gave the Olympics game great appeal is how they give so much details in their body structure. I say that because in the movie they show how much movement they have done. Another way I think about the Olympics game great appeal is what they do. I saw that because in the movie they do lots of things like high jump, The Olympics, the sprint, wrestling and the disk throwing. Another way I think the Olympics game great appeal is because the way they dressed. I saw that because the men never wore anything but rags around themselves and women wore long drapes. The last thing of what I think gave the Olympic game great appeal is the events. I say that because the events were so in tensed that people could die and really get hurt.

What I think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks are get decorations. I saw that because if we get decorations like the Greeks that would make it more realistic. Another reason why I think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks is get body decorative. I say that because if we get our face painted and make designs over are body we could be just like the Greeks. The next reason why I think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks is by making booths. I say that because if we make booths people could come see us do our own Olympics. The last reason of what I think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks is to make meals for us. I say that because if we want to make our Olympics we could make is as realistic as we can.

I think that the Greeks trained a lot for the Olympics. That way by training they
Became very strong. Also that way we can run the mile run just like they did all
we have to do is train hard. Then who ever wins can pick the next challenge also it gave them a great appealing in their Greek Olympics because they did things differently.
Also back then in the Greek Olympics they used to take of your eyeballs while wrestling
now they don’t wrestles so aggressive. But they still do the mile run just like us, they play wrestling just more aggressive. But every time someone loses they used to mock them now we just say good job to them for the hard work they put in. Also that’s why you have to think positive and cheer on you cohort or classmate. Also because if you don’t have positive thinking your health triangle would bad. Also water and nutrition can help the 6th grade Olympics and because of that you can have lots of energy.

Greek Olympics
What do you think gave the Olympic games great appeal? What do you think we can do to make our 6th grade Olympics as appealing as the ancient Greeks? (events, food, decorations, body decorating, etc)?

I think that we would have a great Olympic team if all the kids work as a team. The Olympic had good game like box and run . I think that that what gave the Olympic great appeal is that how they didn’t do all the activities all at once . I think that the events greet olympics had made their olympics way better. I think for the 6th grade olympics that we should make greet like decoration. The olympic game are great appeal is that olympic game. I think that were going to win, and when you be positive of something is good because .you have a better change that it could happened

What do you think gave the Olympic games a great appeal? What do you think we can do to make our 6th grade Olypmics as appealing as the ancient Greeks? (events, food, decorations, body decorating, etc)

The reason I think it was so appealing because they did all this good things. They would fight, race with chariot, and run around racing. Who ever won got the race named after them and who ever lost got mocked. Because they did all that great stuff they got a good appeal. I think thy like the fighting more and the punching and hurting each other it seem like people liked it a lot so they go a very good appeal. To me I think that kind of the reason it is most of the reason they got that appeal because of the fighting that really won them over.

I think we should do what they did but instead of punching each other in the face and kicking we should just wrestle each other first one to the ground wins. We should do a banner that represents the A2 six grade and eight more to represent ever ones city. We could like put like glitter on our backs like how they put dust on there backs so they glow when there running we can do it with glitter. Then we could have like a table with cups of water so when your running you can stop grab a water and keep going or just keep running and quickly grab the water. We should paint our face like put the team name on our face or the colors or just something that represents your city or cohort.

I think the Greek got their appeal from the violence and excitements in the short clip. I think we can make the Greek even more appealing if we put more exciting descriptions and more surprising mood. We can also use something like grey death ray hair and sharp bloody teeth. I think can improve the story a lot so we give the Greek something they would want to watch.

You need to show the reader what the story means and also show to descriptive words. They really drawed me into the video when they said “ there aunt sister soul his soul to the devil ”.

I think that the case was a really good inscrutability and was very rapt. Every second that went by the more rapt it would get.

My rate experience would be a on a scale from 5 out of 10 because for half of the school month my experience was pretty complicated. At my old school we didn’t! We have locker to put are stuff in. the complicated part is opening your locker. Word of advice never ever tells anybody your locker combination. I’m kind of glad because at my old school we only had a cubby and on top of that we didn’t have a cafeteria we usually eat in our class room this school is a big change to me right now. In six grades some things are really challenging math is change where learning new words like ratio, outcome, equally likely, and chance also many other things.
I think the way we learn with laptops is kind of confusing because where learning knew things about laptops and what to do on a laptop .One of the things we do on our laptops is Mavis Beacon. It’s a website that teach you how to type with out looking down at your key board .We learn how to use our home keys which is similar to fifth grade at my school because we use Dance Mat to help us learn how to type faster and also teach us not to look down at your key board. At Fredrick Lila Pilot school we learn many things and we make our mistakes we also learn to remember to learn from our mistakes so it can help us in the past and it can help me to remember to try hard.
