Activity #2:

This is your chance to learn about the country you are following for the 2010 Olympics and create a quilt or mosaic of pictures about your country. I used [|Big Huge Labs] to create the picture quilt below using photos from my[| Flickr] account (the photos are from a school winter carnival in early March, 2009). I downloaded the mosaic to my desktop then uploaded it to this wiki page. The idea for the quilt came from [| Cultural Quilt]. The students could also research country’s cultural elements, such as traditional dress, food, music, entertainment, leisure activities, art forms, and industries found in that country and post their research to their blogs.
