Support your students in developing their persuasive writing and research skills with this engaging activity pack! Students must research the events that are and are not included in the 2024 Games. They must decide which non-included event deserves to be added and write a persuasive text to the Olympic Committee convincing them to add the event to the Games. This download includes the following documents:

1. A stand-alone scaffolded research worksheet with an answer key
2. Two brainstorming and research template options
3. Two persuasive text planning template options
4. Two final copy-writing page options

Ideal as an independent task, this project can also be used in pairs, trios or small groups. Top Teacher Tip: Need more room to plan and brainstorm? Print these templates in A3! This activity can be followed up with the Olympic Torch Stained Glass Craftivity.
