A project developed by Cornell College’s KIN-200, Athletes and Activism class.  Authored by Caitlin Babcock, Alec Boldt, Cristian Dixon, Megan Gandrup, Olivia Henkel, MacKenzie Macam, Caitlyne Mar, Kali March, Alexis Partida, Ilah Perez-Johnson, Mary Puffett, Kara Rivard, Julissa Rivera, and Delaney Thomas; edited by Professor Christi Johnson. Because of the power that sports have to shape our understandings of everyday life, we explore the stories of athletes who became activists related to social justice causes.  These athletes used their platforms to advocate for positive social change.  We summarize and share their stories here.  In addition to describing their athletic pursuits, our summaries of their stories include key terms, concepts, and definitions related to socially just causes.  We also include short video overviews of the athletes' sporting lives and social activism.

Beginning of the Year Mini Lesson for Middle School Language Arts
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a quick lesson for the beginning of the year for 8th-grade language arts teachers.  It's a great mini-lesson if you need to fill three-five days while introducing short story elements at the start of the year.  The story itself is very meaningful, and Jane Kaczmarek does a great job reading it aloud on YouTube. It is a high-engagement lesson because the students get to write about themselves while learning about the struggles of another.  The text is not complex, so weaving in short story elements works very well here.
