Research, and present information about the intersection of politics and sport/PA, from a historical perspective.
Your topic must relate to race, gender, or another movement for social change, that has occurred in sport/PA.
Sometimes, more recent historical events are actually more difficult to consider about than things farther
removed from today. This is because we have sometimes not yet developed a historical perspective on newer
events. All that happens is produced by events that came before, and in turn those events will also influence
the future. Whatever you choose, you should follow it through from the start to how it influences the present.
Be certain (a) you have selected a topic that relates to political protest and sport/PA; (b) you have used at least
5 and mostly primary or scholarly sources and certainly have evaluated each; (c) you have placed the local
description within the relevant local and national social history context; (d) you have listed all your references
somehow; (e) you have chosen a title that accurately reflects your topic, which is outlined in the first para; (f)
you have thoroughly reviewed your work; (g) you have included sufficient information to do justice to your
subject and it is presented logically in an easy-to-follow manner.The assignment must be typed (double
spaced, no larger than 14 pt size), and must contain references within the text to sources that you used.
Primary/scholarly sources earn more points than secondary. Sources must be used within the presentation, not
merely listed at the end. As in any presentation, back up points you make with examples, argue your case
logically, and present with care. Read sport history journals to see how you should write! Watch well produced
documentaries/listen to good radio presentations.
