Greece Research Link

Mr. Donn's site is a great resource for ancient Greece, written at an easier level.

Also check out Emory University's website.  You won't be able to copy and paste, but their site is very informative.

Word Generation-Title IX

In the 1970's, a federal law called Title IX was created to equalize sports and education between boys and girls.  The idea was to have equal opportunities for boys and girls in sports and higher education.  However, it created limitations in schools, as some schools had to drop boys sports and add girls sports to be equal.  Sometimes, colleges had to limit the number of scholarships given to boys to encourage girls to go to college.

The result is there are many more girls playing sports and going to college. 

Is the Title IX law fair or not?  Post your opinion with at least one detail supporting your answer.  Try to use one of these words:  inequity, resources, adequate, illustrate, disproportionate.

Include your name and hour along with your opinion when you post your response.
