HOW:
TASK:
Choose a sport that you would like to study, and then choose a country that you would like to use as comparison. Take care to choose sports and countries that will enable you to find required information.
Examples include:
Start your research!
What should the report include?
You should include a cover page, a table of contents, an introduction and a Reference List.
Compare and contrast your answers to (a) above with the sport in your chosen comparison country. Has the sport been shaped in the same way in that country? Is the sport managed and organised in the same way? Why or why not?
Compare and contrast the National Governing Body's Objectives for the sport in each country (what does the organisation say it is doing in each country?) Is it the same or different -- why?
Pay close attention to the structure and flow of the presentation, and to the organisation of information. This presentation should be well-referenced using the APA (7th Edition) referencing style.
Information should draw upon relevant readings from your text book (Sections 1 & 2); relevant weekly topic materials and readings; as well as your own research. Your research should include journal articles (not merely websites). You should include a BIBLIOGRAPHY of the sources that you have used to build your presentation. Note that this includes standard referencing in text of the sources that you use specifically, and quote--as well as including all the sources that you have used to build your presentation.
