For your main post, please write two or more paragraphs (total 200+ words) on the following:
Paragraph 1 (Your Chosen Extreme Sport Athlete):
- Choose an extreme sport and pick a professional athlete you admire who excels at that sport and has been featured in the media. Do not choose an athlete already featured in Kotler’s Rise of Superman, and please make sure you had selected an extreme sport athlete rather than a conventional sport athlete. You are welcome to choose an athlete doing an extreme sport discussed in Kotler’s book. You will write about your one chosen athlete in all sections of this Research paper.
- In this paragraph, share who your chosen athlete is as well as the following: 1) your athlete’s sports accomplishments, 2) your athlete’s upbringing and events that led that person to do the extreme sport, and 3) your athlete’s thoughts on her or his relationship with the wider world, such as the surrounding community, nature, other athletes in that same sport etc..
Paragraph 2 (First Superhero Comparison)
- Select a superhero who has had a film made about her or him. It doesn’t matter if your superhero is from Marvel or DC comics, or was the brain child of a movie director. Compare that superhero’s life, relationships, and accomplishments with your chosen athlete.
Paragraph 3 (Second Superhero Comparison)
- Select another superhero who has had a film made about her or him (not the same one as in the last paragraph). It doesn’t matter if your superhero is from Marvel or DC comics, or was the brain child of a movie director. Compare that superhero’s life, relationships, and accomplishments with your chosen athlete.
- End your main post with an interesting question for the class that stems from the ideas in your post.
