Lacrosse: Then and Now

English

ValentinkaMS [17]2 years ago
4 0

In the past, lacrosse also served to vent aggression, and territorial disputes between tribes were sometimes settled with a game, although not always amicably. A Creek versus Choctaw game around 1790 to determine rights over a beaver pond broke out into a violent battle when the Creeks were declared winners.The game of lacrosse became known when European missionaries began visiting North American Men in the 1600s, US Lacrosse states. The very first lacrosse equipment used by Native Americans included a wooden carved stick with a small pocket at the end, according to LacrosseCentral.com. The rules, equipment and playing style of lacrosse differed between various tribes in North America. Europeans began playing lacrosse during the 1800s. Europeans residing in Canada caught onto the game during this time, forming teams through the Montreal Olympic Club to play lacrosse games against Native American teams in 1844, 1848 and 1851. In 1856, the Montreal Lacrosse Club was established and produced the first official rules for the sport. A dentist named George Beers revised the rules in 1867, and also refined the lacrosse stick's design and introduced the use of a hard rubber ball instead of one made from deerskin stuffed with hair. Throughout the 1900s, lacrosse equipment continued to evolve in leaps and bounds, with the emergence of aluminum sticks with plastic pocket frames and protective pads for players. By 2005, lacrosse was deemed the fastest-growing sport in North America for all ages

Annette [7]

Answer:

Public speaking is like any skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Here is the only advice you need: Make eye contact with your listeners. Even if you’re nervous, nobody will know. If your audience sees you looking at them, they’ll look back and connect with you.

Start by reviewing your journal entry to make sure you have used specific details from the text to support your defense. Make sure you have at least two or three details.

Then, record a video of yourself pretending to be Zachariah’s lawyer. Pretend your revised journal entry is your "opening statement" in the trial and you are speaking to the jury and the judge.

Use any video recording device available to you. A cell phone or a webcam is perfect. Be sure to speak clearly and maintain appropriate eye contact. You might even practice with a friend, a parent, or in front of a mirror first.

If you don’t have the equipment and can’t record and upload a video, give the speech to a friend, a parent, or just a mirror. When you’re done, write a reflection in your journal about your experience. Consider what you did well and what you might do differently next time. The reflection should be about 150 words.
