    Part I: Directions for Your Essay


    Research shows that the activities people engage in to keep healthy change as we age. Our
    gender, cultural background, and socioeconomic status also affect what choices we make when
    we exercise.

    You have taken a look at how age and gender affect exercise choices. Now, explore how cultural
    background may play into various physical activities. You will need to interview three people from
    different age groups and cultural backgrounds to determine which of these factors have an effect
    on what physical activities they choose to participate in. You are not allowed to interview any of
    your family members.

    You will then need to come up with a thesis statement. Your thesis statement will depend on the
    questions and responses from your interviews.

    Sample thesis statements may be:

    • "My research shows that people of (culture X) prefer playing soccer, while people of (culture
    Y) prefer baseball."
    • "I have found that a person's culture has an impact on which physical activities individuals
    participate in to stay healthy."

    Organize Your Essay According to the


    Following Guidelines
    1. Your first paragraph should introduce your thesis statement. There are samples listed
    above. You can choose one of the two provided for you in the sample or make your own.
    2. Interview person #1 asking questions based around your thesis statement, and be sure to
    take notes on the person's responses. Your second paragraph should include his/her age
    and how active that person is. Be sure to include the responses from your notes during the
    interview of person #1.
    3. Interview person #2 asking the same questions based around your thesis statement, and be
    sure to take notes on the person's responses. Your third paragraph should include his or
    her age and how active that person is. Be sure to include the responses from your notes
    during the interview of person #2.
    4. Interview person #3 asking questions based around your thesis statement, and be sure to
    take notes on the person's responses. Your fourth paragraph should include his or her age
    and how active that person is. Be sure to include the responses from your notes during the
    interview of person #3.
    5. The final paragraph should be a conclusion that ties your thesis statement together with the
    information from the three paragraphs in the body of your essay.

    Please review the Grading Rubric to see how the points will be awarded for this type of
    assignment.
