4 Ready, Set, Mush! The Yukon Quest is a rough, tough competition. This annual sled dog race takes place in February. The course runs through 1600 kilometres of wilderness. It follows historic Gold Rush and mail delivery sled dog routes. Mushers encounter freezing temperatures. High winds. Blizzard white-out conditions. Frostbitten fingers and toes. Mushers say the Yukon Quest is the toughest race in the world. It takes at least eight days to travel from Fairbanks, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon. This year, 26 mushers signed up for the international race. Only 15 finished. The winner? Alaskan Allen Moore. It was his third Yukon Quest victory. Similar to the Iditarod The Yukon Quest is often compared to the Iditarod sled dog race. The Iditarod is the better-known 4 A musher is the driver of a dogsled. Hypothermia is when your body temperature gets dangerously low. of the two races. It is also 1600 kilometres long, but it takes place in March. It runs between Anchorage and Nome, Alaska. Fifty-two teams crossed the Iditarod finish line this year. The winner was from Norway. Two men almost didn't survive. Jim Lanier was participating in his 20th Iditarod. But this time he lost the trail in the darkness and blowing snow. He was becoming hypothermic. Then his friend and fellow musher Scott Janssen came along. He stayed with Mr. Lanier until help arrived. Eyes on the prize In these races, the top mushers and their dogs become celebrities. They also take home

5 prize money. Winners of the 2018 Yukon Quest shared a purse of $125,000 (U.S.). Iditarod winners shared a $500,000 prize. What s in it for the dogs? Nobody seems more eager to hit the trails than the dogs. But one sled dog, Blondie, died during this year s Iditarod. The previous year, five dogs died in the race. In 2016, one dog died in the Yukon Quest. According to one animal rights activist, Blondie s death pinpoints precisely why this race must end. She says the dogs are abused. They are pushed too hard. If the human participants want to race to Nome, have at it. But don t force these dogs to run until their paws are bloody and they die on the trail. Strict rules Supporters of the race, however, say the dogs are very well-cared for. Accidents do happen. But the dogs are checked out by a vet at the start, at the finish, and at all checkpoints during the race. If any dogs are unwell, they cannot race. If there any signs of abuse, the mushers are disqualified. Mushers themselves support these strong rules. Those dogs are your best friends," said one musher. "You spend more time with them than any one person in your life. Race on! Organizers say they will do what it takes to keep the sled dogs healthy and the races running. The fans, the dogs, and the mushers love the unique challenge these races offer. "Winning's always good," said Mr. Moore. "I don't know what you say, I'll come back next year and try for four." Would you want to take part in a sled dog race? Why or why not? 5

8 Ready, Set, Mush! Lesson Plan Before Reading: Pair students. Read the title of the article aloud. Use appropriate technology to project several images of the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod, one at a time, showing various aspects of the races such as the start, on the trail, conditions, rest stops. Here are some examples: Hage.jpg Encourage students to look closely at each image, then discuss with their partners what they notice and what they wonder about the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod after viewing each photo. Record and post the students observations and questions on a class chart. During Reading: As they read the article, encourage students to look for answers to their questions and highlight or underline other important information about the 2018 Yukon Quest and Iditarod races. After Reading: As a class, revisit the pre-reading questions to determine how many were answered and what additional information students learned about the race. Distribute to each student, or pair of students, a copy of Yukon Quest and Iditarod: Challenges and Champions (p. 19). Direct them to use the article to record the challenges of these races (i.e., what makes them rough, tough, controversial races) and the champions (i.e., the accomplishments of the competitors and athletes the dogs). When they have finished their data charts, invite students to individually complete an informative paw print poster recording 4 important facts about the Yukon Quest and Iditarod in each of the outer pads (digital pads) and drawing a picture of the race in the large centre pad (metacarpal pad). Have students cut out their complete paw print, mount it on construction paper, and title it. You may wish to use this downloadable blackline master of a dog paw print: Criteria for Assessment: An effective poster is easy-to-read, informative, and includes supporting visuals. 8

The thrills started early in the Games when Canadian superstar freestyle skier Mikaël Kingsbury competed for gold in men s moguls on February 12. Observers say Mr. Kingsbury is The best title is # because... the most successful moguls skier in history. He has won more than half the World Cup events he has entered and this year alone he has won 13 races. Yet he had never won Olympic gold. He placed second to earn a silver medal at the Sochi Olympics in This time, the 25-year-old from Deux-Montagnes, Quebec, was the second-last skier out of a field of six to perform the final run. His family watched, knowing that his score of was pure gold if the last skier Daichi Hara of Japan didn t beat him. When Mr. Hara s time came in at 82.19, Canadian fans erupted in excitement.... Pushing past injuries... Canadians were also rooting for ski cross competitor Kelsey Serwa, of Kelowna, B.C. The 28-year old, who has had three knee surgeries and who suffers from arthritis, powered through the finish line to win a gold medal. It is very cool, she said of her win. It is very surreal to be the best in the world at something you put your heart into. I have an amazing support team around me who, from my head to my body, made sure everything was good. Our skis were rockets today.... Stellar debuts... Meanwhile, Kim Boutin, a 23-year-old speed skater from Sherbrooke, Quebec, had a stunning debut in PyeongChang. The Olympic newcomer, who earned the honour of carrying Canada s flag at the closing ceremony, won three medals silver in the 1000-metre race and bronze in both the 500 and Ms. Boutin originally placed fourth in the 500-metre race, but moved up to third when South Korea s Minjeong Choi was disqualified for interference. Unfortunately, some South Koreans proved to be poor sports. Scores of them attacked Ms. Boutin on social media for winning this bronze medal some even issuing death threats.
