THE FUTURE OF SPORT

Hi, all!!!

An exciting project is coming. As you all know, we are working with the future and this project is related to this matter. Your PE teacher gave me a list of sports and we are going to design a   A SPORTS NEWSPAPER.

To deal with this project we are going to work in pairs and each pair is going to design two pages of our newspaper.

One pair will design the front page and the rest of pairings will choose among these list of sports:



1- TENNIS.
2- VOLLEYBALL.
3- HANDBALL.

4- BASEBALL.
5- FLOORBALL.
6- GYMNASTICS.
7- CRICKET.
8- CYCLING.
9- KAYAKING.
10- SKIING.
11- RUGBY.

Once you have chosen your sport, you have to design two pages about the sport. The first one related to the current situation of this sport and the other one related to the future of it.

Be as creative and original as you can.
You should write about the sport and you can also include pictures of it.

At the end, we are going to print the whole newspaper so, please write in the same format: TIMES NEW ROMAN 14.

Your PE teacher is going to evaluate your research and writing about the current situation of sports and I will evaluate how you write about the future of sports, taking into consideration future and conditional tenses.

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD JOB GUYS!!!!
