  • North American Geography Lesson 4: Jack Kramer Unit Overview: As
    North American Geography Lesson 4: Jack Kramer Unit Overview: As students work through the activities in this unit they will be introduced to the United States in general, different regions of the United States, map symbols, Hall of Famer Jack Kramer, and his Barnstorming Tour of the 1950s. They will explore, through varied learning experiences, the significance of Kramer’s tour to the game of tennis while learning about different parts of the country. The activities that accompany this unit are geared towards the students’ multiple intelligences and will provide academic challenges at multiple levels of cognitive complexity while satisfying the goal of working towards mastery of grade appropriate common core standards of Literacy, Geography, and Mathematics. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Gain background knowledge through vocabulary activities and comprehension activities (such as guided questioning and using appropriate graphic organizers) the geography of the United States and its regions, along with what it was like in the 1950s. • Form an understanding of the contribution that Jack Kramer made to the sport of tennis. • Demonstrate what they have learned about the geography of the United States, map skills, Jack Kramer and his significance to the game of tennis, and his place in history by successfully completing guided questioning activities, group organizers, and by taking part in meaningful classroom discussions. Common Core Standards: CCSS.ELA – Literacy RI 4.3 - Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text. CCSS.ELA – Literacy RI 4.7 - Interpret information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively (e.g., in charts, graphs, diagrams, time lines, animations, or interactive elements on Web pages) and explain how the information contributes to an understanding of the text in which it appears.

Next ASB Classic Tournaments January 2018 Well done to ASB Classic Tournament Director (and ICNZ Member ) Karl Budge on once again assembling a great field for both our tournaments. I asked him to write a piece about the prospects, written just before the recent ATP Finals when Mike Venus had qualified for the doubles with Ryan Harrison. Since then Michael and Ryan have surprised many. They were seeded 8th, but reached the semi-finals, winning all 3 of their group matches before bowing out to the top seeds. A great effort, not to mention how handy the US$200.000 they share will be. They also won 600 ranking points each to assist them being seeded in tournaments next year. The overall winners were Henri Kontinen & John Peers. To show how close the men’s doubles teams are, Michael and Ryan beat them in the round robin section 6-4 7-6.

What are my plans for improving the program? ............................................................... 12 1 1. Introduction - What is the grand slam tennis program? The Grand Slam Tennis Program allows you to see how recent grand slam tennis champions would fair against champions from the past. You can choose from more than 90 former men's grand slam champions and more than 80 former Women's Champions. In addition, you can choose to play the tennis match at the Australian Open, U.S. Open, Wimbledon, or French Open. International tennis matches can also be played, with the option of choosing from many countries around the world. The program is perfect for simulating individual match ups or holding an entire tournament. This is not video graphic game. It is a statistical game based on each former tennis player’s historical success in playing major grand slam singles events. While some players have a higher probability of success, their performance in any particular tournament is still subject to the laws of random probability. For example, a player who has had major success in the French Open is likely to do well in the French Open, but could still lose to a player who has had less historical success in the French Open.
