- Watch (a) sports game (s) this weekend and discuss with your student the relevance of teamwork. Have your student write a clear and cohesive 1-2 page essay explaining the importance of teamwork and role that it plays in her life. I have provided examples of appropriate responses. You may use this as a guideline in order to inspire discussion and the student's personal writing process.
- All summaries must include:
- Sport watched, with whom the student watched it
- Siting next to my grandfather, I enjoyed an exciting football game
- Teams playing
- We enjoyed the New Orleans Saints v Atlanta Falcons game
- Date, Time, Location
- The game occurred Sunday, September 26, 2010 in the Superdome in New Orleans
- Winning team
- The Saints won, of course. WHO DAT!
- Signs of Teamwork(THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION)
- As we watched Grandpa explained that each team member has a different task; some people on the team are responsible for protecting the ball, while others are responsible for moving it down the field. I also noticed that the their was a leader that would give directions. During school projects, I am usually the student that does (or does not) take the lead. etc...
- Components of Teamwork that were missing in the game
- My grandfather and I discussed that teamwork requires a leader, but should also allow for group member input. I did not see a section of the game where the team members got to share her/his thoughts. This reminds me of the time I had to complete a group project and the group leader did not listen to my ideas.
- Whether or not student enjoyed the game
- I loved watching the game with Grandpa because we really bonded and I got a chance to learn about one of his interests, sports! Maybe Grandpa and I can save money to attend a Redskins game, even though the SAINTS are the best.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND!!
