Rugby World Cup Quiz

Your home learning task for this week is to research facts about the countries that are taking part in the RWC. The sorts of things you need to learn about the participating countries are:

capital city population (to the nearest 100 000) major cities rivers mountain ranges currency political leaders famous pop stars flags famous buildings/landmarks national anthems (learn the first line) languages famous people Rugby World Cup statistics famous events

You could present your research as a table or a mind map. I need to see evidence of the research you have done. There are 20 teams in the RWC. If I put you into teams on Monday then you can decide which members of your team will focus on which countries. However, to keep you eager beavers going over the weekend I want all of you to find out the first 5 items on the list above.

Select 10 teams/countries and research the top 5 items on the list above. Just like we discussed, at length, in class!!!!!!!! (over use of exclamation mark for effect!!!!!!) Aaaargh!

Prizes

1st prize might be 4 tickets with VIP seating to the Rugby World Cup final 2011. Then again, it might not. You'll have to wait and see.

My contact in the World of Rugby is doubtful about securing free tickets. It looks like I'll have to find another prize. As if the glory of winning isn't enough.

ALSO: check out the THUNKING page. I have added some new THUNKS.
