Pro Football Hall of Fame – Nicknames

Meaghan Roberts’ grade 6 students learned about “NFL team histories and how team nicknames were selected and the meaning behind those. Students (learned) that not all teams are named from fan polls. Some team nicknames are deeply woven into the history of the communities or the geographic region in which they reside. The 50-minute program, which is designed to be highly interactive, is supplemented by a lesson aligned with national standards of education and is recommended for 4-12.” http://www.profootballhof.com/hall/ProgramSelectionsMaterials.aspx

Excellent program. Informative and high quality audio-video. Many thanks to Jerry Csaki for another engaging presentation.
