Here is the sixth in a 10-instructional activity series on soccer. It takes a look at the role of gender in the sport of soccer. In general, are boys’ sports and girls’ sports equal? Are men’s sports and women’s sports equal? Is there equality in soccer? Are boys better soccer players than girls? What about women playing soccer in other countries? These questions should pose for lively discussion! The main assignment for this instructional activity is to go to the computer lab and write a paper based on the articles the class has previously brought in on women playing soccer. Hopefully the discussion fires them up to be able to write persuasively and infuse some of their thoughts from the discussion into their paper.
