Legend High School – Sport in Americana

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This history elective will examine the development of sport(s) in America. Our historical study will focus on helping students gain a better understanding of the inner relationship that sports has on social, economic, cultural, and political forces that are at work in the United States as well as the world. Students will examine the historical context as well as the significance of race, gender, ethnicity, and social class. Students will do an historical investigation through readings, primary sources, audio, and visual materials as well as class discussions and projects including field trips, podcasts, and video creation.
