Capstone is a research project where you get information about your topic and you present, at the end of the year, a Wevideo, Tedtalk, or Ignite. All have to be 3 – 5 minutes long. In the process of all of this research work, we created an essay to help us with our scripts. Here is the link to my essays, draft one and two.

Also in the process of this assignment, we had one “main inquiry question” to answer. Mine was “How have the rules of basketball changed from the early 1900s to now and how have the changes improved the game?” Well, to answer that question, basketball rules changes a lot over time. Every rule that came into the game, (over 100) all affected the game in it’s own way. For example, the three point line was a big change because without a three point line, you did not need to shoot from far away. Another rule, the foul rule, was a big change because without a foul, there would be no scoring. Players would do whatever they want to keep the other team from scoring. Even if it was very physical. Today, people are still trying to make changes to the way that the game is played. 13 potential rule changes are being proposed ahead of the 2021 – 22 season!

This all proves that basketball has changed in many ways, all effecting the game, in it’s own way. If you want to see me present my video click the link below.
