Learning Activity 4-D-1: Local Photos and Posters
====I decided to alter my project idea so that my students will be given one of the numerous athletes that have originated out of Hopewell High School to research. This will assure that they know and understand each aspect of sports and the accomplishments individuals have earned that were, and some still are, in their “shoes”. The students will utilize Primary Sources to research the individual’s biography, accomplishments he/she had, what sport they were most successful in, as well as what position he/she played for that sport. I would also like my students to explain any struggles or obstacles the given athlete faced during their road to “success”. They will also be required to describe the basic rules and history of the sport and create a tri-fold presentation on their findings. This will allow each student to competently know and understand what amazing people have been formed in Hopewell, as well as gain a thorough understanding of each sport being presented. ==== ====[] ==== ====This link provides a photograph of Tony Dorsett, a former NFL running back that originated out of Hopewell High School.

====This is a Penn State University website that contains a photograph of Christa Harmotto, whom led the Penn State Volleyball Team to the NCAA Championship.

====This is a link to the University of Pittsburgh’s football scouting website. This particular link provided shares information regarding a current Hopewell High School student whom has a very positive future ahead of him. In addition to being a current student, Rushel is a running back, like Tony Dorsett. Coincidentally, Tony is Rushel’s uncle. This is a great source to lead the students into finding more information regarding Rushel and his relation to Tony, both athletically and ancestrally. ====

This site provides information from the Beaver County Hall of Fame. The particular link is referring to former NFL Chicago Bear, Dan Rains. Dan is a graduate of Hopewell Area High School and went on to achieve many positive things in his career, both athletically and professionally. Dan has children that have graduated from the High School, as well. Currently, he has a daughter in 12th grade here at Hopewell, whom is a very strong athlete herself. Alexis is one of the top players on the girl’s Varsity Volleyball team. Having Alexis currently in our school helps the students relate better to Dan’s accomplishments. They are able to gain first-hand accounts of his experiences in the NFL, as well as what he currently is involved in now with his career and charity events. =====
