Part of Lesson Plan: Face and eye injuries

Activity Overview / Details

As students sit down I have the Kevin Stevens injury video playing.  In the video the announcer mentions that he broke his nose.  At the end of the video I ask students what they think his injury was.  After a quick survey, I pass out the the short New York Times article in which Kevin discusses his injury. This then leads into the Lecture on facial injuries. 

** Alternate:  If you don't have the time, or don't want the students to read the article, you can just tell them about his resulting injuries and treatment.

** Another thing that is good to do is to have students identify what was done wrong in the treatment of this player (the doctor was not wearing gloves).
