Discuss the following warm-up questions:
- Do you like sports? If so, what’s your favorite? If not, why not?
- Are sports important? Why or why not?
Work in a group of 2-4 students.
- Open this link: ESPN
- Choose a sport that your group is interested in.
- Choose a story that looks interesting.
- After you choose a story, check with your teacher to make sure it is appropriate.
- Begin reading the news story with each other. When you come to a word that is unfamiliar, write it down in the course vocabulary document (your teacher will share the document with you). You will define these words later.
- When you are finished, you will read the story again with the rest of the class, and define the vocabulary words.
