Ga Virtual Learning: Contemporary Issues: Extra Curricular Activities

Curated by ACT

This lesson focuses on the pros and cons of extra-curricular activities for kids; while positive effects have been proven, overscheduled kids may have trouble keeping up with the activities and school work. It features links to opposing articles and a compare/contrast graphic organizer. Students read articles from both sides of the argument and use the organizer to record their findings.
