Through the course of the NBA season students will discuss player performances from #1 Draft pick Lamelo Ball to the Veteran James. 
This class will take students to the launch of the 2020/2021 NBA season! The aim of this course is to create a unique atmosphere and social learning space where all learners can discuss/share various topics. Each week students will be able to interact with one another, improve their writing skills, improve their reading skills, and build a sense of community. The videos and links will be posted on Sundays by 8pm est to start of the week on Monday.

Why a flex class? 
* Flexible schedule classes are awesome for families who have busy schedules or are sometimes unable to commit to a certain day or time. 
*Students can work at their own pace and not feel rushed. 
* Great for international students that live in different time zones.
* Videos may be paused or rewatched
* If there are any questions or concerns, the instructor is always available via email.

Students will discuss current/previous NBA news, breakdown film, analyze box scores, compare/evaluate and contrast players/teams. There will be built in google slides and engaging Nearpod activities to keep it fun and exciting! 
Each week (Sunday 8pm est) all learners will receive a video link, question of the week, quizzes, polls, multiple choice, etc. Links will be provided in the classroom page and learners will not need to register an account on any websites. The video content provided may contain NBA hot topics such as: Rival games of the week, recent trades or injuries, best performances of the week etc. 

I will provide feedback to each student weekly and to the class as a whole. Students are required to read others comments and respond to one another, which creates an interactive classroom page. In this way, we will build a community of collaborators where learners build off of one another.

Here are some examples of topics/questions we will explore:
Which teams will win the game this week?
Which player had the best performance of the week?
What teams are going to make the playoffs or not?
Which NBA rookie is surprising and which is a bust?
Is Lamelo Ball going to win Rookie of the Year?
Who is your MVP this season?
Which player will score the most points this week?
Who is your Eastern Conference and Western Conference Player of the Month?

There will be a great amount of time for students to interact with one another and share/express their opinions. This course will be great for aspired athletes who love to continue to learn about the game of basketball. This course will continue to build athletes basketball knowledge each week and begin to understand the game at a high level in a fun way!
