  3. The Task Student Page During your blast to the past there is some information that you must gather. You must discover the who, what, when, where, and why of the ancient Greek Olympic games. Keep in mind you will be gathering information to educate your fellow classmates on the games. This will be done using a Prezi presentation telling us about the information you gathered during your trip. Also, you will be required to write a 1-2 page reflection about what you have learned. You will have two weeks to complete this assignment. Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits
