Internal & External Data Activity

SEM I – Obj 2.04

Internal & External Data Activity Directions: You are the Assistant Media Relations Director your favorite school that just got a tournament bid. Next weekend, your school will play in the tournament.

Your job is to prepare the pre-game notes on each team. These notes are given to the coaches, local newspapers, TV (ESPN), radio and are made available on the athletic website. Using the websites for each school, collect internal data from your school and external data from your opponent relevant to this weekend’s game and prepare the game notes. Your game notes should be at least 2 full pages. Feel free to use a template in Publisher to create a more attractive format.

 Awards won this season (individual players or team)
