Concussions

Please answer the questions in a blog post.  Please make sure you write your answers in complete sentences and use supporting details from the articles and videos.

1. What is a concussion? What are symptoms of a concussion?  Watch this video clip of Dr. Sanjay Gupta from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyRBlSAfb_k



2.  What is second impact syndrome? Watch the following video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du_qiQ96ddk

3. Tough Calls - PBS student broadcasting:  https://www.pbs.org/newshour/spc/multimedia/concussionstories/
High school kids handle concussions:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA7aRP5BIzk



4. What do you think about concussions and sports?  Is this a big deal or being blown out of proportion?  Are the sports league trying to keep the stats a secret?  Are concussions just part of the game?  Should we be trying to find a way to minimize them? What about tackle football at grades 3-6?  Are parents part of the problem? Are athletes that want to keep playing part of the problem?


Check out the concussion blog or league of denial or national geographic or NG video Cracking Down On Concussions, concussions for further information.  If you use another source to support you idea please include the source.   SI - LofD
