Advise students that on the Sports Screeners Checklist, they should write their name, the name of the television program, film or video, the name of the producer and the production company, and the channel and time of the TV program. For the second lesson period, students should bring their Sports Screeners Checklists with them to the class and verbally share findings from their review of sports and physical activity in entertainment. Youth may determine that the activity or sport looks exciting or fun, and that it could also involve friends or family members. Youth may decide that the physical activity or sport could be started as a new school or community activity. Youth's perceptions of physical activities and sports as only for the athletically inclined, may change.
All individuals have the capacity to perform some type of physical activity or sport.
Youth might be discouraged to participate because the sport or activity depicted is too frightening or involves perceive physical risks. Tell students that they will now use their Sports Screeners Checklists and write a formal letter to the executive producer of the production company or television station which the film, video or television program is broadcast. Give each student a copy of the Sample Letter as a guide. Students can contact directly the television station or the production company and request the address of the producer. Students should submit a copy of the letter and their completed Sports Screeners Checklists to the teacher to evaluate.
