This final is worth 5% of your overall Physical Education grade. It is worth 100 points.
Assignment:
You will be choosing an activity to participate in either by yourself or with others. It needs to be a recreational/sport activity that is NOT offered at YHS. Only 6 people may choose the same activity so the sooner you get approval for your activity the better the chance of you being able to do this activity for your final.
After you get approval for your activity you will complete the following:
Research paper (35 points)
Your paper needs to be one page typed, double spaced, 12 font, and 1 inch margins on the top, sides, and bottom. You need to research the activity you choose. You will need to find:
When the activity originated (what year it began); where did it originate (what country); what was the activity originally used for; who have been some of the professional or well known people participating in this activity; what are some of the records held and by whom; anything else of interest pertaining to the activity you choose.
Pictures/Video (50 points)
You will need to have 5 pictures of yourself participating in the activity (10 points each) OR a short 3 - 5 minute video of yourself participating in the activity.
