Usain Bolt Wins 220m

Usain Bolt in full flow – many children will be inspired by the world’s most famous athlete.

  • Children can commentate over the video. Use a media merge programme to record children’s commentaries over the film.
  • Write a recount as if the children were there to witness it.
  • Write an internal monologue for one or more of the athletes. How are they feeling? What are they thinking? Is this different for the different athletes?
  • Write a newspaper report of the event.
  • Interview Bolt and Blake. How do their responses differ? Maybe Blake is saying one thing and thinking another.
