For reading this week we have been learning about more leaders! As you might know, last week we were taking a deep dive into all the Maori leaders, and we found lots of information about Hakaraia, a religious Maori leader who was a big component in the New Zealand wars which protruded after the treaty of Waitangi was signed. After we read about Hakaraia, our create task was to make a student cheat sheet on how to make accurate predictions using any text and the illustrations included. This week, our goal was to make connections between texts, and athlete leaders. This week we have been learning about 2 great athletes who are leaders: LeBron James and Michael Phelps. People might know these people as just very talented athletes, however, LeBron actually helped others get meals and people who can’t afford items that are essential. Michael after he retired from swimming, offered people with mental disorders or problems help to regain control over that part of their brain. Our task was to make a collector card about one of the 2 athletes and show what impact they have done, I chose to do LeBron James. Below is the collector card I have created.
Question: Is there any other athletes YOU know about? I’d love to know in the comments!
