Daily reflection #5
Today I decided to plan out my Final project. I decided that it would go like this, first off it would be a power point. The first slide would be on the earliest information on lacrosse I can find like when the Indians played it a long time ago. The next slide would be on the next major evolution like when the first first saw the Indians play the game and started playing it. The next slide would be on another major change like when the rules where made. Then the next slide would be about lacrosse in the early 1900' schools who played lacrosse and lacrosse in the Olympics. The nest slide would be on present day Lacrosse like different forms best lacrosse teams, military teams and different forms of lacrosse. Then the final slide would be about the future of lacrosse and what the leaders are planning on doing to it.

What did I do today?
Today I found an article on EBSCO it is here.
What was I trying to find out?
I was trying to find out Who made lacrosse and when it was invented.
What did I learn?
I learned that important skills you may need are competitiveness, dexterity, speed and endurance. A lot of countries play lacrosse from Japan to Germany including the Czech Republic. the lacrosse stick was designed on a weapon that would through a ball at an enemy's head to kill them. For a while lacrosse was known as the national sport of Canada.
Any new questions?
Who created lacrosse? or, When was the latest record of people playing lacrosse?
What will be the Future for lacrosse? (will it participate in the Olympics and are the leaders of lacrosse planning on making changes to the game)
No one helped me.
Today I feel okay about what I did today because I did find that much but I got a lot of new questions.

What did I do today?
Today I found an okay article on IPL it is here.
What did I try to find out?
I tried to find the history of Lacrosse.
Today I found out that there are three basic types of lacrosse, the southeastern, Great Lakes, and Iroquoian. A double stick version is also still played were a player uses two two-and-a-half-foot sticks instead of one. Indians were still considered professionals of lacrosse until the 1980's only then where they allowed to play in the world games. Indians played it very religiously. In the 1900's some people thought that lacrosse interfered with church and gave Indians a impoverishing effect. When Oklahoma Choctaw began putting lead weights on their sticks the game was admittedly banned. Meanwhile nonnative lacrosse was being spread around and that is what we play today.
Any new questions?
Which country has the best lacrosse team?
What countries play Lacrosse as there country's sport?
No one helped me.
Today I fell good a bout my research because I answered a lot of my questions.

What did I do today?
Today I researched Lacrosse history and found a good article here (under history of Lacrosse).
What did I try to learn today?
I tried to learn how it started, how it evolved, and what they used it for.
Lacrosse dates back to the 1800's. Did not become generally known until the 1600's. Indians play it as a mass sport 100 to 1000 player on each side, goals were usually 1/2 a mile apart. The games would last from sun up to sun down. Used to toughen Indians for real combat, and used to settle disputes or differences. In the early 1900's lacrosse was in the Olympics and it became a more popular sport. In 1926 the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association was formed and is still governing lacrosse today.
