CIP Pitch

How do the mindsets and personalities of children who participate in physical

activity (i.e. sports, dance, etc.) differ as adults compared to those who
never participated in extracurricular, physical activities?

I believe we should choose this topic for our CIP project because each
person in my group participates or has participated in sports during their
lifetimes. We all have found sports and physical activities to be very
influential to the development of our lifestyles and our personalities since the
time we were children. I have found, from speaking with and learning about
my group members, that we are all very interested in this topic and topics
similar to this one. This being said, I believe we will all enjoy learning about
and researching this topic to our full potential and creating the best final CIP
project we can.

We could execute and present our project by using multiple ways of

presentation. We could use a Prezi, which is a very effective way of keeping
people involved throughout the entire project presentation. We could also
do speeches because we all have our own testimonies about our involvement
in sports and how it has shaped us a people. A survey would also be a
useful genre for us to use to bring the importance of sports into perspective
for our audience. I believe that this topic would be easiest to present in the
form of linguistic and visual multimodal designs.
Each member of my group is vastly interested in physical activities and
it is a large part of who each of us is as a person. This, in itself, is enough to
motivate and inspire us to perform and create our CIP to the best of our
abilities. The psychological and physical aspects or themes that is spoken of
in each of these articles/texts above are very interesting to me and a very
positively spoken of aspect of our sport-related topic.
