NPR Listening

Headline of Article:

Issue Date: August 28, 2015

Section: World


Three Reasons why I chose this article (interest in subject, heard about it from a friend, etc.):

1) I like sports



2) Japanese traditions and cultures interest me



3) I was curious and it seemed very interesting


Write a brief summary of the article:  A Japanese Little league baseball team has made it to the world championships.  They train all day on the weekends.  They all focus on a honing technique until it is perfected.  



  


Write TWO reactions you had about the article:

1) 10 hours of practice?! WOW!




2) I bet those kids are really tired


Write a direct quote from the article that you found intriguing/interesting: "We are not big and strong, but are discipline, selflessness, and hard work make us win."  That is incredible they are so determined



List one connection I can make between this article and something else I know about (whether from personal experience, school, a book I have read, a movie I have seen, or anything else): I used to be a catcher in elementary school.  I played for 4 years.
