Assignment
Should Physical Education Be Mandatory K-12
Write a research paper (you have an assigned topic; check list for your topic) that is at least seven FULL pages in length (does not include title page or reference page - includes introduction, pros, cons, and summary/conclusion) on an issue, problem, or trend in either physical education or sports. Your paper must have at least 10 credible references, double-spaced, one-inch margins, and use APA style. An excellent reference for APA style is THE WRITER'S BRIEF HANDBOOK, 5th ed., by Alfred Rosa and Paul Eschholz.
The format for the research paper is as follows: There are four sections:
Introduction
Pros
Cons
Summary or Conclusion
plus a reference page at the end.
The majority of the paper should consist of the Pros and Cons. The Introduction and Summary/Conclusion should be brief.
