Olympic Breakfast is off...

I've been putting together a Google document providing a slightly more 'critical' list of suggestions for teaching about the Olympics as the event gets nearer.
I will embed it in a blog post again in the next few days, but there's a link below.

I am grateful to Keir Clarke for setting me thinking about this area with his earlier tweets.

There is a useful post here which shows maps around some of they key Olympics venues showing the brand exclusion zones. I have previously blogged about various aspects of the way that the usual 'rules' of urban living are put aside for the duration of the Olympics and Paralympics (and also before and after for security reasons) and put together my Londinium MMXII document.
Visit to read the information.
There are more maps here for the other venues.

For further information (if you want to find out more) visit the list of official partners...

You could perhaps work with students to train them up as Olympics Brand Police...
They could perhaps go around the school with official ID looking for examples where the brand has been transgressed and handing out 'fines'. A nice opportunity for some guerrilla geography.

There will be official enforcement teams looking for examples where the branding may have been used without permission: hence no 'Olympic breakfasts' in local cafes..
