Something to read:
Have a look at these news outlets for sport 

The Guardian

Task:

Over the course of a week, explore and track how sport is covered in your chosen outlets. Aim to look at their websites or sports apps for 10–15 minutes each day.

Answer the following questions using evidence from your observations

1- Which sports are most frequently covered? Are these predominantly men's sports? Why do you think this might be?
2 - How much of the content is about women’s sport? Count the number of articles or segments related to women’s teams or athletes.
3 - Compare how different outlets cover the same sporting event or story. What’s similar or different in tone, depth, or focus? Which do you prefer and why?

Something to listen to:
30 Women in Sport Podcasts

Choose one of the podcasts from the lists above. 

Task: Write a review of the podcast you chose. Did you enjoy it? Why? Why not? What was something interesting you learned? 

Something to research:
Choose a sport or physical activity you enjoy (or want to try). Research 3 different places in or around Liverpool where people can take part in that sport.

Create a poster that includes: the name of the sport, at least 3 local places you can try it, times, costs, and coaches' details. 

Extension: write a short paragraph about why this sport matters to you and why other people should take part.
