Students responded to the following freewrite questions: When you think of the game of football, what do you imagine or know about the game's origins? When did American football begin? Where was it played? By whom? Why?
We then read and discussed the article "Carlisle: Before and After" by Brenna Farrell. We discussed the mission at the Carlisle School and the ways the images that accompany the article provide a mirror for the school's goals.
Students then listened to the first half of Radiolab's "American Football" episode, entitled 'The Ghosts of Football Past.' Students took notes on the following essential questions: What are the origins of American football? Who or what are the "ghosts of football's past"?
There will be a quiz over the day's activities.
Reminder: revised college essays are due on 20/21 October.
