Project Based Homework 3.12.12

Hello,

As mentioned in class, all I need you all to do is the following:

1. Choose a position to defend. Decided whether you think sports is good or bad for kids.

2. Find articles that supports your position about sports being good or bad for kids.

3. Find articles that counterargue your claim. For example, if I say that sports are good for kids because it helps in the fight of childhood obesity. I may want to also find articles that go against that. For example, I may find articles that claim that obese children who participate in sports may face ridicule and made fun of by their healthy and fit teammates. As a result they become isolated and depressed.

Once again find SPECIFIC NOT RANDOM articles related to your position. If you need assistance, please email me.

Remember that the last day to return the CPR permission slips and cash or money order made payable to PS 127 is 3.19.12.
