This week we are focusing on Sports and Competition. How do different people become interested in or not interested in sports? What makes a person good at a sport while another person with equal opportunities does not become good? How does Conflict theory apply to sports? Our sport will be a game called Star Fleet Battles. I selected this game as I expect non of the student have ever heard of it and thus will start with equal knowledge. A basic rule book will be provided and limited guidance will be provided by me. The Test for this topic will be a classroom discussion over the results of the game play who did well and who did not and the underlaying reasons why. Students are NOT graded on their win/loss record they are graded on participation and the ability to clearly discuss the final outcome.
Over the next two-week s we will finish our discussion on Culture with a written assignment over the cultural impact of the proposals presented in President Trumps State of the Union Address. On Tuesday 2-12-19 we will begin to look at competition and learning. The Students will be introduced to the game Star Fleet battles each student will be assigned a race and will need to learn the rules of the game and the abilities of each. Students will participate in competitive and corporative scenarios with differing outcomes of victory.
This week we will be looking at groups and social interactions, We will use the game Dungeons and Dragons as a role playing game to assign students to roles in a group. After the group has attempted a mission we will discuss how the different characters played differing role in the accomplishment of the mission.
