NHD and Times this week

For the National History Day project, I decided to research something dealing with women's sports and the rights of women's sports. After a long time of deciding how to narrow down the topic, I decided to research Title IX. Title IX is a law making sure boy's and girl's sports are equal. They have to be equal in scholarship money, equipment, and participation in sports. I have also learned about how this has changed sports and what women could do before Title IX. I am interested in this topic because a few years ago, I went to a women's sports foundation event hosted by Billie Jean King.

For the National History Day Project, I have decided to do my research on women's sports, specifically the effects of Title IX.  Title IX is a US Statute dealing with not having any discrimination based on gender. I only looked at the part of Title IX dealing with education and sports. I have learned the three parts of Title IX that have to be followed, including equal participation, equal scholarship money, and equal equipment and necessities between the boy's and girl's sports. I have also researched on how this affected women's sports and the women's sports foundation. I also have researched what life for women participating in sports was prior to Title IX. I became interested in this topic after an event for the women's sports foundation hosted by Billie Jean King.

  1. Your topic is really interesting especially to women athletes. I can tell the difference between your formal and informal explanation. Sounds as if you're a completely different person.
