The Olympic Allure is a sixth grade class project on web page creation using Netscape Composer and Front Page.  The topic was any Olympic athlete from the past or the present.  The purpose of this project was to familiarize my students with a web authoring program and to give them a sense of what good web design entails.  It was also to have them research and learn about the dedication an individual must have in order to become a member of an Olympic team.  The allure of winning a gold medal inspires athletes to make a total commitment to achieve a goal but even more so it is hoped that my students will learn that:

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle."
(Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the man responsible for beginning 
the modern Olympics in 1896.)
