First of all, you guys did great with the last bonus. Almost 60 of you received a 25 point bonus on your overall grade for participating. We had some visitors comment on your post (Mr. Johnson dropped by), and some great classroom discussion was developed, which in case you didn't know is the point of the entire thing!
So, being true to my word, I am giving you another bonus opportunity. This question is a little more drawn out.....
Our school's archery team has recently won the Alabama State Archery Championship (again!). We are all very proud of the team and their continued success. They practice early and late, and put in more hours than most of the other sports combined. However, the question has been asked by a few students from the other sports, "Is Archery a sport, or is it a hobby?" Now, to be fair, the students who have asked this question have said they are proud of our archery team either way, but I thought I would give everyone a chance to chime in. So here it is........
What makes an activity a sport, and is archery one?
Although I have personally stated to several of our students that I believe archery to be the very definition of a sport, you do not have to agree with me. Answer what is on your mind and what you really think. Remember to be respectful whatever your position is. To get your credit you must answer the entire question. Give examples and use your mind. The best argument can claim victory. The deadline for answers will be next Thursday (March 12). Good luck and may the force be with you!
