explain how each document in that group shows a
“factor that shaped the modern Olympic
movement”
• Write a body paragraph using one of your groups…
“One factor that shaped the modern
Olympic movement was nationalism
(3,4,5,6,10). Each of these documents
shows how pride for nations influenced the
games. In doc 3, Lunn says that for the
Nazis, the ski competition was a way to show
German superiority. In doc 4, …”
9. Analyze Point of View
• This means to choose 3 docs and explain why the
speaker / writer of the doc has his particular point
of view. (POV in 3)
For example
“Matthias (doc 4) focuses on the rivalry
with the Soviet Union in the interview
because he competed at the beginning of
the Cold War and the interview was given
during the Cold War so Matthias’ point of
view was influenced by the intense political
rivalry between the USSR and US.”
10. Analyze Point of View
• On your paper, choose another document and
explain the POV of the author or speaker.
“Matthias (doc 4) focuses on the rivalry
with the Soviet Union in the interview
because he competed at the beginning of
the Cold War and the interview was given
during the Cold War so Matthias’ point of
view was influenced by the intense political
rivalry between the USSR and US.”
11. POVs
• Doc 1 – Courbertin is very positive about the
modern Olympics. His point of view is
influenced by the fact he is the founder of the
Olympic movement, he obviously wants to
show how great the Olympics can be so he
may exaggerate how the Olympics will unify
people.
12. POVs
• Doc 3 – Lund is very critical of the Nazis. His
point of view is influenced by the fact that his
country, Great Britain, was in political tension
with Germany and the Nazis before World
War II. His point of view may be more
influenced by the fact that by the time of his
interview he saw the destruction caused by
the Nazis so looking back he will see their evil
side.
13. POVs
• Doc 5 – Azuma describes the Tokyo Olympics
as a miracle. His point of view is influenced by
his leadership of the group who organized the
Olympics, he probably wants to show how
great it was and so he may exaggerate the
benefits of the games. As mayor he may also
want to declare that Tokyo is now a great city.

might show how people from all nations are
friendly during the Olympics or reinforce the
ideas that people from different nations were
rivals.
17. Add doc

interview from a Latin American athlete or
official could give different factors that made
the modern Olympics. There is not a

Koreans didn’t make money on the Olympics.
An additional document such as an interview
