P.E. Make-up Assignments

Mr. Tippetts

Students are given three free excused absences a quarter which they do not have to make up.  Additional days missed from class due to excused absences may be made up by completing one of the following assignments.  For example, you may go bowling twice, to make up two absences, but you may not use bowling for a third absence.  This is to encourage students to try a variety of activities.  Make-ups may be done only during the quarter in which the absences occurred.  All make-up is due one week before the end of the quarter.

1.  Write a brief report (5-6 sentences), per day absent, about a sport or physical activity such as basketball, football, soccer, etc.      You must list your sources of information, such as books, magazines, web sites, etc.  You will include the title of the article,       the author and the page number.  Reports copied directly from books, magazines, etc. will not be accepted.

2.     Choose ten vocabulary words from a sport or physical activity, and define each one.  Be certain to use a book written          about the sport, as a dictionary may not have the correct definitions for the terms.
