Visual Prompt: Both sports and academics are valued by society, but sports seem to get more attention. Should academic achievement be as important as or more important than athletic achievement? Can sports participation help prepare you for future success?
Choices and Consequences
Unit Overview
How do the choices you make now shape your future self? In this unit, you will explore how decisions can have far-reaching consequences that determine your character, values, and contribution to society. You will read a novel that focuses on one young man’s emerging realizations about how his personal history continues to affect his relationships
with his friends, teammates, family, and school. You will analyze the choices made by different literary characters and write an essay about the consequences. Also, you will apply your understanding of choices and consequences to a research presentation about a historical figure or world leader who made inspiring choices that helped shape our world.
