Basketball - kulturen og spillet (docx)

Forløbet er lavet af Fran Hopenwasser og Louise Ravn på Frederiksborg Gymnasium, og Fran Hopenwasser skriver bl.a.
- Jeg vedhæfter en lille tekstsamling, som vi har givet eleverne, og som de ser ud til at bruge flittigt, men de har været gode til at finde andre ting på nettet. Alle links er i vejledningen.
- Klassen er midt i AT7 lige nu, og jeg synes allerede, man kan sige, at det er et meget godt emne til AT, fordi det er ikke så svært for dem at lave en problemformulering, hvor de 2 fag bidrager på en naturlig måde.
