Do Now: Give me a thumbs up if you ever had a moment of accomplishment, where you’ve felt really proud? Maybe it’s a time when you made the winning goal, made up time in a relay, got 100% on a test you studied for really hard or someone you care about told you they were proud of you.
Below there are some images of sports figures that have caused great social change. One person, Jackie Robinson, you are probably very familiar with, the others, the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team, and 1936 Olympic track star, Jesse Owens, you probably aren’t familiar with.
Based on your prior knowledge, brainstorm what you know about these sports stars. (5 min.)
