Nathan McGill Capstone

I did my capstone with three other members and Elijah Banks, Brian Bess, and Kashawn Gilmore. We decided to host a basketball tournament for the younger grades in order to teach them about the importance of sportsmanship, Collaboration, and communication because they will need these skills for the rest of their time in SLA and in the real world.  Our plan was to coach the 9th, 10th, and 11th graders that are interested in basketball to improve their learning and collaboration skills. Our Inquiry questions were, What made us want to have a basketball tournament?, How will the kids participating benefit from this tournament?, and what will we gain from this tournament? Throughout this whole process I learned that you can teach life lessons through activities that people enjoy and it can positively impact their lives.
