Intro #2

During the next thirty days I will read a book and watch the movie to see the similarities and differences. This will help me academically because I will be able enhance my vocabulary by reading a high level book, and watching the movie would help me to better understand the book. I can also research the book and movie to help me with this challengeSome challenges I can encounter are finding time to sit down and read a book and watch a two hour movie. Also another possible challenge is coming across concepts or words that I don't know. For my presentation I will make a PowerPoint showing the similarities and difference in the Great Gatsby.

Concluding Blog

I finished my presentation, and found strong supporting reasons. My research has helped me further learn what a sport is, and what it means to be an athlete. It has also allowed me to work on researching and presenting data. I enjoyed learning about this topic because it is something we sometimes discuss in the classroom. So it allowed me to expand my knowledge. Overall, this challenge took time and effort to complete it Ina timely matter, and I enjoyed learning about NASCAR.

Progress Report 3/14

During my research/reasons, a problem I did not anticipate was how NASCAR drivers are often referred to as athletes, and how that impacts some reasons and ideas I had. Putting my information and finding pictures to go along with it is not too difficult.  Have found several reasons why NASCAR is not a sport, by using various websites.

Progress Report 2/28

I have began to gather information regarding my topic. It has been a little tricky to find information to support some of my reasons towards why NASCAR is not a sport. I have learned that a lot of research is required which at times, can be time consuming. I also need to use strong reasons to support my challenge. I am going to continue to research and start to out it into a PowerPoint.
