TUESDAY 9/11

SR201
Today: We viewed the documentary, Nine Innings From Ground Zero. Hopefully it made you remember & reflect back to the tragedy we all witnessed and went through, and where we are as a nation 6 years later, for better or for worse.

Homework: From the video as well as your personal experiences be prepared to discuss how sports helped us escape from the heart-wrenching events of 9/11/01. Also be prepared to discuss how sports help us as individuals escape from our own individual life struggles. The second half of class on Thursday will be spent discussing Chapter 1 of the textbook. When reading focus on the following:
-What is leisure?
-Neulinger's Paradigm of Leisure
-Views of Leisure
-Characteristics of Recreation
