Instructional Ideas
- This is a great example of how team sports are used to effect positive change, but it's also worthwhile to explore potentially negative impacts of team dynamics (e.g. peer pressure)
Classroom Considerations
- The video is fairly long (almost 20 minutes); consider having pupils watch it the night before instead of playing it in class
Pros
- Resource may be particularly engaging for those passionate about sports
- There is a good variety of activities oriented around the video
Cons
- The resource may not be particularly engaging for students that are not athletic or interested in sports
