Week 12

I am going to use subtitles listed in order topically. I will start with the history of lacrosse. Then I want to move into the ins and outs of the game. After that I will start introducing the idea of club sports here at Ball State. When I have explained that, I will go into the actual team and thier games. Then I will follow with the social aspect of playing a club sport. Following will be a section on the players, the coaches, and the fans. Finally I will discuss what the interviews told me. I want to organize my paper like this for one important reason. Lacrosse is a sport. That being said the reader must be able to understand the game before they read about the players. They will need to know a lot of inside language right off the bat. I also think that it will be read easier.

Questions about final Paper

I am mostly concerned about getting everything to fit together enough to have 12 pages. I want it to be well written, but i think that i am focusing too much on the length. I want to know more about the introduction and the conclusion. I also am a little concerned that i might not have enough headings or ideas for headings.

Week 11

I have found it really hard to find the time to observe the lacrosse team. They practice late at night. I usually am studying around this time, or sometimes I am ready to go to sleep. I plan on getting the ten hours in sometime in the next few weeks. The easiest part is researching. There is a lot of information on lacrosse as a sport and as a club sport. There are even some information on Ball State's lacrosse club. If I could start over, I think I would have picked a different subject to study. I think I would have done Athletic Training students. I never realized how much time that they put into thier work. The blog has helped me see my ideas develop. I also can see my first impressions that I have long forgotten about. I want to use these to break the sterotypical adjectives that come to mind when you think of lacrosse players.

Box 30

I found two articles in the Ball State Daily News archives. One is about the lacrosse club team playing their first ever night game. It discusses how the team struggles with finding fans. I plan on using this to describe different things that the team has done. The other article is before the 2002 season. It discusses the optimism for that coming year. It also talks about post season playing. I plan on using the description used at the beginning. I also like the analysis of the loss.

Week 10.5

I think that mine are pretty self explanatory if you are an athlete. However, if you aren't you might have difficulty figuring out the meanings. Brad was correct on all of his because he is a part of the community.
