Day 5 Bonus - Winter learning journey

For the Day 5 bonus I was asked: Jesse Owens was a black American athlete who participated in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. He is considered to be one of the bravest and most inspirational Olympic athletes because he competed at a time when the leader of Germany (Adolf Hitler) did not want black men competing at the Olympic Games. Here is a picture of Jesse from the 1930s.

To me Roald Dahl inspires me because he is an amazing author that teaches kid to be confident, innovative and creative. He has taught kids to think out of the box .

Day 5 - Winter Learning Journey

For day 5 second activity I was asked: In 1936, a 13 year old girl named Marjorie Gestring became the youngest person to ever win an Olympic gold medal. She won the gold medal in the springboard diving competition. Imagine that you were alive in 1936 and you had the chance to interview her. On your blog, post five questions that you would like to ask the Olympic champion (if you had the chance to meet her!).

1. How does it feel to be a Olympic champion

2. What age did you start realizing you were got at Spring board diving>

3. What got you interested in springboard diving?

4. How did other people realize you where good enough to be in the olympics?

5. Did your parents support you?
