Class Experience

The latest Secrets of Sports Writing course will focus on opinion writing, and how facts and stats are needed to back up an argument. Students will be encouraged to come to class with not only an opinion on NBA legends but some evidence for whatever they think: Jordan? LeBron? Kobe? Duncan? Kawhi? Giannis? And most importantly: why? There will be some video and some outlining of arguments, along with some Q&A. Ideally students will be inspired to write and argue constructively. ***Note: A student does not need to be an NBA fan or expert to take the class! This lesson applies to all sports, and all debates.***

Learning Goals

This is a writing class above all. We will have fun and talk sports but the highest goal is to improve at argumentative writing.
