Event Legacy

Management
Title: Assignment #2: Event legacy

Details of task:
1. This assignment builds on your first assignment.
2. While there are ‘standard’ legacies that each host-city should try to meet, there are also additional ‘unique’ legacies that a host can leave behind. For example, when Germany hosted the soccer World Cup in 2006, they introduced the concept of ‘fan-miles’ where tens of thousands of fans came together in public viewing areas to watch the event on huge drive-in sized screens. This created a sense of harmony never seen before at a FIFA World Cup and created an entirely new way of ‘consuming’ a sporting event. While such a legacy can be viewed as a form of ‘social regeneration’ (e.g. the party atmosphere it created diffused the propensity for hooligan-based violence) it also serves as a ‘knowledge’ legacy (e.g. a strategy that future sporting events could also adopt).
3. Based on your research of emerging trends and/or technologies, what legacy will you try and create for the host-city you chose in Assignment #1?
4. Potential legacies can come from any of the topics from Weeks 7-12 inclusive (e.g. new ways of broadcasting the event, new ways of managing risk, new ways of boosting sports tourism, new ways of creating stadium atmosphere etc). For example, one emerging technology in the area of broadcasting an event is 3-dimensional holographs. Such a technology (if successful) could allow fans located in a distant city (e.g. Sydney) to view in a suitable public area (e.g. a Sydney sporting stadium) life-sized 3-dimensional images of a sporting event being held in Melbourne).

Criteria for Marking
The key criteria used to evaluate your work will include:
a. Research effort (e.g. at least 20 references in your reference list, every single one of which is also referenced in the body of your essay).
b. Research relevance. The key here is new or emerging trends or technologies. However, I’m not asking you to invent something entirely new. You may simply decide to take an idea or two from another context and apply it in an Olympic context. For example, could fan-miles be successfully applied in an Olympic context, particularly in the context of your chosen host-city? Could ‘standard’ tourism strategies be applied in sports tourism context? Are there new developments in Hollywood that could change the viewing experience for the Olympics’ massive TV audience?
c. Depth of understanding. Rather than try to briefly cover a wide range of potential ideas, focus on just your 2-4 best ones, and go into detail on these.
d. Practical understanding. Are your suggestions realistic?
e. Is your work free of errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation etc?

Presentation requirements: Structured essay format (e.g. an essay with sub-headings)

Structure: There is no set structure for this essay, though one possible suggestion would be:
• Introduction
• A sub-heading for each ‘new’ legacy.
• Conclusion
• Reference list.

Thematic Approach to Learning

Introduction

Each day, a teacher enters the classroom and looks at all the different requirements that must be met before the day or year’s end. In the elementary school setting, the variety of curricula that must be presented to the students can seem daunting. “Being able to ‘do it all’ can be an insurmountable task even for veteran teachers” (R. Martin, Sexton, Franklin, & Gerlovich, 2005, p. 260). Tying curriculum requirements to a specific theme is a useful tool in helping students grasp the scientific concepts. D. J. Martin (2006)suggests that “science without language is like a ship without a compass” (p.385).

The idea that curriculums must work together for effective student learning leads toward the concept of related themes. That is, that high quality content is dependent upon a variety of curriculum pieces working together. Science is a natural catalyst that allows students to combine their writing, reading, technology, and math skills into a cohesive learning experience.

Thematic Instruction

Thematic instruction is sometimes referred to as integrated instruction. Looking at each standard that an elementary teacher is expected to cover within one school year can be very overwhelming. Applying the required standards collectively is the idea of integrated instruction that places the “cognitive skills such as reading, mathematics, science, and writing in the context of a real-world subject that is both specific enough to be practical, and broad enough to allow creative exploration” (D. J. Martin et al., 2005, p. 261).

By carefully reviewing the standards that are made available for each grade level, classroom teachers can begin to see opportunities for similarities in the way they might support some real-world ideas. They might be in the area of environmental concerns, family living requirements, identification of different objects within various biomes, etc. To prepare for the integration, teachers must look into each discipline to determine the particular standards or benchmarks that are required for their specific grade levels.

Step-by-Step Process

An old Chinese proverb states: A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. This is also true when venturing into the area of thematic unit development. Teachers new to the process must proceed slowly and begin with a key concept in mind. The initial unit, for example, might only combine reading and science, where the students refer to a literature book about a small ant when they are studying insects. This will allow the teacher to use the literature books as resources for great pictures and perhaps, if the unit is written carefully, some facts about insects can be added to the students’ knowledge base. In other cases, it might be advisable to look at a particular question that needs to be answered as the centerpiece that supports all the other program or discipline areas.

In the lesson, the teacher writes both the objective (tied to the required benchmark) for science understanding and also includes the literature objective (created from the benchmark) that supports one or more of the reading requirements for this grade level. As the instructor adds other curriculum areas to the lesson, they also continue to build the number of benchmarks that the activity will support. Before long, the creation has grown to include four or five different disciplines, with at least the same number of required standards in one thematic unit of study.

The concept of a thematic unit means that it might include a number of individual lesson plans to complete the entire process. This allows for an even larger and more inclusive unit that can easily share a variety of accomplishments through careful assessment throughout the unit of study. Evaluation is an important piece, as it will help to validate the effectiveness of the unit for those who question the specific knowledge students will acquire.

Confirming Research

It is important to note that curriculum integration in the form of thematic units has proven to be an effective way to support student learning. As reported in Carin, Bass, and Contant (2005), relevant research studies suggest the following:

· Integrated learning activities are more appealing because they require fewer scheduling changes and can be done by one teacher (Kober, 1993).

· Science and the other included subjects are learned more effectively (Koballa & Bethel, 1985).

· The integration of science with other disciplines has potential for improving both the quantity and quality of science instruction and learning (Pappas, Kiefer, & Levstik, 1990).

Conclusion

Weaving science into other areas of the curriculum is not only natural, but has proven to be an effective pedagogical tool. It is important to first understand the requirements of the various benchmarks that each teacher and grade level must meet on a yearly basis. Once the benchmarks are thoroughly understood, teachers can move toward integration of these required areas of study through slow, significant, and deliberate steps. As positive evaluations confirm a growing understanding by each student, teachers will have renewed energy to create more thematic units during each and every year to come.

During your practicum, you will observe a science lesson being taught. You will write an essay of 1,000-1,250 words in which you address the following:

1. Did the science teacher integrate other content areas into the science lesson, such as reading, writing, math, technology, and so on?
