Day 3: Sports

Please click the following link if you need to reread the San Quentin Tennis article from ESPN.com. San Quentin Prison Tennis.

Now that you've read the article, break it down. Then, we'll watch this video.



First ask yourself, "What perspectives are presented in Alexa Pozniak's article?" Once you know this, ask yourself, "What perspective from the article do I most closely identify or agree with?" THEN, write a 250-500 word blog that outlines ONE of the perspectives within Pozniak's piece. In other words, discuss the perspective that you agree with the most and provide evidence to justify your thoughts and feelings.

**Make sure that your opening statement is clear and presents the focus of your blog (i.e., the top down approach). As always, make connections between your opening statement and key details from the article that will support this statement. HAVE FUN!


No matter what side you argue for, make sure that you provide specific examples that will help you prove your argument and persuade the reader in your direction.
