great classroom exercise

As a group exercise have the class draw a scale diagram of a HS basketball court on the blackboard. Have them put in the correct lengths for everything (FT line, width of the lane, 3 pt line, front face of backboard from the end line, etc.)
For example, give them a yard stick and make 1" = 1 ft. (Or make it 1/2" if you have a smaller blackboard.)
You will be stunned how much they didn't know and how much they will learn!
