1 Lesson 2 - Pre-Visit A World of Baseball Talent Objective: Students will be able to: Identify that players from all over the world come to the United States to play professional baseball. Research and quantify the home countries of players on various MLB teams. Create and use different types of graphs to compare data. Time Required: 1 class period; longer for lesson extension Materials Needed: - Internet access for student research - Graph paper - Colored pencils or markers - Copies of the "World of Baseball Talent" graphic organizer for each group (included) - A map of the world Vocabulary: Diversity - The condition of having or being composed of differing elements, especially the inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization 11
2 Applicable Common Core State Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.6.1, SL.7.1, SL.8.1 Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on gradeappropriate topics, texts, and issues, building on others ideas and expressing their own clearly. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.6.4, W.7.4, W.8.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.6.7 Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on several sources and refocusing the inquiry when appropriate. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.6.9, W.7.9, W.8.9 Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.7.7 Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions for further research and investigation. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.8.7 Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions that allow for multiple avenues of exploration. CCSS.Math.Content.6.SP.A.1 Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. CCSS.Math.Content.6.SP.B.4 Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots. CCSS.Math.Content.7.SP.A.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences. Additional Relevant National Learning Standards: (Based on Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning) Geography. Standard 10. Level III [Grade: 6-8]. Understands the nature and complexity of Earth's cultural mosaics 12
3 Lesson 1. Begin the lesson by reviewing that in every community in America, diversity is a source of strength and connection. In baseball, diversity offers the same things. 2. Ask students, "Is everyone who plays for Major League Baseball from the United States?" 3. Discuss that while baseball was developed in the United States, it is a popular game all over the world. As a result, some of baseball's greatest athletes grew up playing ball in other countries, and later came to the U.S. to play professionally. 4. Explain that at the start of the 2012 Major League Baseball season, 243 players (28.4%) were born outside the United States. 1 They represented 15 different countries and territories. Each player brings a unique set of skills to the game. 5. Ask students if they can name any baseball players (from the past or present) that are from other countries. Examples include: Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz is from the Dominican Republic Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Yankees pitching legend Mariano Rivera is from Panama. Ichiro Suzuki is from Japan. 6. Discuss that diversity has broadened baseball's appeal with fans who love seeing what players from different backgrounds bring to the game. Diversity has connected Northern players with Southern players, big city players with small town players, and American players with players from other countries. 7. Introduce the activity. 1 From a pool of 856 players (749 active roster players and 107 DL or restricted MLB players). Source = 13
4 Activity 1. Divide the class into several small groups. Have each group select (or assign) one major league team to research. Give each group a "World of Baseball Talent" graphic organizer (included). 2. Have each group go to their selected team's website (easily found using the "Teams" dropdown menu on the mlb.com website) and find their team's Active Roster. 3. By clicking on each player's name on the Active Roster, students will be able to find out each player's statistics and vital information. Students should write down each player's position and his hometown on their organizer. An example has been provided below. 4. Once each group has completed their graphic organizer, have each group count the number of players from the United States, and from outside the United States. 5. Provide each group with graph paper, colored pencils, or markers. Have each group create a graph comparing the number of players from the U.S., and from outside the U.S. 6. Now have groups count the number of players from each country represented on their MLB teams. Have each group create a second graph comparing the number of players from each different country on their team. 7. Come back together as a class and combine each group's data. Create a third graph based on data from the whole class. 8. As a class, analyze the results of your students' work. Did each team have similar numbers of players from different countries? Where are the majority of MLB players from? How many countries are represented on these baseball teams? 9. Provide students with a world map, or use a world map in your classroom. Mark each country represented in Major League Baseball on the map. Which players traveled the farthest distance to play baseball in the United States? 14
5 Conclusion: Cultural Diversity: Diversity in the Dugout - Level 2 To complete this lesson and check for understanding, have students write essays or journal responses in which they address what information about professional baseball in general can be concluded from the sample data collected during the activity. 15
