Sporting Events and Politics: Sometimes, it isn’t Just a Game

Your group will be assigned one of the following events to present to class, using Power Point.

1. 1980 Olympic hockey victory over the USSR at Lake Placid, New York. The Russian players (professionals) lost 4-3 to the Americans (students) who later went to capture the gold medal.

2. Jesse Owens’ four gold medals at Munich Olympics in 1936 (humiliating Adolf Hitler) in a dramatic example of American defiance of Nazism.

3. Zola Budd (South African Olympic Runner) competing in 1984 in Los Angeles, California. Budd claimed British citizenship, fearing she would not be able to compete for her homeland because of governmental policies of apartheid.

4. 1968 World Series victory by Detroit Tigers (perhaps preventing a repeat of rioting see in the summer of 1967.) Despite the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, Detroit was relatively peaceful that summer.

5. Palestinian Terrorists killing 11 Israeli athletes and one German policeman in 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. Yassir Araft planned the attack. Israel retaliated in kind, prolonging the violence in this war-torn region.

6. Joe Louis v. Max Schmeling boxing rematch June 22, 1938 in Yankee Stadium. Schmeling was used as a pawn by Hitler to model Aryan strength and superiority. Schmeling was sent to Siberia as a consequence of his loss to Louis. He displayed great character when he paid for Joe Louis’ funeral in 1981.

7. 1968 Olympics in Mexico City; Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos (finishing first and third in the 200m run) raising one gloved hand in a Black Power salute. The athletes were promptly suspended from their national team and banned from the Olympic Village.

8. Billie Jean King defeat self-proclaimed chauvinist pig Bobby Riggs in three straight sets in a tennis match at the Houston Astrodome in September, 1973.

9. Roger Bannister broke the barrier for the four-minute mile on May 6, 1954. People said this could not be done.

10. 1966 Texas Western NCAA Men’s Basketball victory; the first five African-American starters played in a championship game.

11. Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in major league baseball, playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.

Aim: How can we create a logo for a sports team using Powerpoint?

Tuesday, SWBAT create a simple Powerpoint presentation

Aim: How can we create a logo for a sports team using Powerpoint?

Do Now: What is your favorite sports team and logo? Why do you suppose that it appeals to you?
Write a paragraph detailing why this logo has an appeal to you. (5 min.)

Materials:
• Macs, class blog
• Powerpoint tutorial
• Powerpoint project handout

Procedures:

1.) Elicit Do Now responses
AR: I like the Yankees logo because it reminds me of my childhood…
(3-5 min.)

2.) Mini-Lesson: Overview of project this week. This week we are going to be creating a logo for a fictional team for a city that doesn’t have any teams, or doesn’t have any teams in the sport that you decide to choose.
This project will require you to do research about the city to figure out what your team should be called, based on the culture of that city.

This project will require you to design a logo.

This project will require you to learn how to do a Powerpoint presentation.

This project will require you to scan images into your home computer, if you have one, turn your images into a Jpeg. And then manipulate them into a Powerpoint. Please see me if your home does not have a scanner.

Let’s look at this Powerpoint handout to get an idea of what my expectations are for this project.

Are there any questions, so far?

(2-3 min.)

Distribute PPt. handout

3.) Model:
Teacher will run through PPt., including examples of student work.

“A Sports Team Mascot isn’t just a symbol of a team…
It is the flag for which the heritage, culture and history of a city should base it’s own civic pride…”

A Knick, or Knickbocker, is a name often cited in reference to New York City--an allusion to the fictional character "Father Knickerbocker" who, according to the tale told by Washington Irving, was the head of the first socially prominent family in New York.

Etc. (5-10 min.)

Are there any questions, so far?

4.) Pairs: Now work with the person sitting next to you. On the blog there is a link for a very effective Powerpoint Tutorial(http://www.actden.com/PP/) that I want you to both go through.
This website will teach you and your partner how to create a Powerpoint.

Make sure you click on the link that will show you how to create a Powerpoint with the 2007 version and not the older version.

Split the screen on your monitor and open up Powerpoint from the menu on the bottom.

Click through the tutorial, to the best of your ability.

After 12 minutes, I want you and your partner to create two slides with text and a picture or graphic. I will circulate to help you

(12-15 min.)

5.) Summary: Once you have created your group’s two slides with text and graphics, prove that you have basic Powerpoint creating skills by putting both your names on the slides and e-mail them to me for credit. (remainder of period)

6.) HOMEWORK: Pick a sport that you will be interested in creating a make-believe team for. You can choose a logo for a team, or if you want for a company that makes merchandise, skateboards, or apparel, if that interests you more.
