Soccer in an academic light... what?
Despite the warnings of my youth, discouraging a mix of athletics and academics, here is my attempt to bring it all together. Let's look at something in the news and on the TV as of late- the soccer World Cup in South Africa- and use it as a tool for critical study of the media, geography, history, and symbolism. The point is to look at different forms of representation and applied geography in the tournament.

(don't know your flags? time to start learning! click on each flag for some general info about each country)
I really enjoyed the way students have the choice to learn about the country of their choice. If you don't know much about the team you like, what a cool way to find out. Very visual!
