In this unit, we delve into the interplay between mental strength and physical ability in sports. By examining the essential question of what we can learn about ourselves from studying sports and athletes, students will engage in collaborative learning and critical thinking. After watching a short video, students will participate in a THINK, WRITE, PAIR, SHARE routine to reflect on the necessity of mental agility in performance. Through argumentative essays and discussions, students will analyze strategies, evidence, and key figures relevant to sports performance and its implications for personal growth.
