Activity 1: Making a Racket  [4 points]

Billie Jean King, Venus Williams, and Serena Williams are three exceptional, female tennis players. They are not only outstanding athletes and some of the best tennis players in the world, but they have fought for women to be recognised as equals to men in the game of tennis. Billie Jean King famously beat a male tennis player, Bobby Riggs, in 1973, to prove to the public that women could compete at any level in tennis.

Billie Jean King was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1987, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and was recently awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year - Lifetime Achievement Award.

Activity 2: What’s in a Name? [4 points]

Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxers of all time. He started boxing when he was 12 years old and went on to become the World Heavyweight Champion numerous times in the 1960s and 1970s.

Muhammad Ali was an African American man born with the name Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. When
he was a young man, however, he became a Muslim and converted to Islam. When he converted, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. During his life, Ali gave a lot of time and money to various charities. He also helped to feed more than 22 million people across the world who didn’t have enough food. Despite all of his charitable work, Muhammad Ali is still best known for his agressive boxing style, his confident personality and his inspirational quotes.

Activity 2: What’s in a Name?

Question - If I got the chance to rechoose my name and change it to something else what name would I choose? Answer - To be honest I wouldn't want to change my bit not even a single bit because I actually love my name because my name got given to me by my parents! Why do I want to keep it? My parents agreed on using and putting my name after the Lily Flower but instead that had putted 2 L's instead of 1 so that made up half of my name Lilly leaving the Ana which is the other half of my name , I got it from my half of my Mum's name so half of her name got put in my name to create my name Lillyana!!

Task Description : This week I am learning about how to finish a task within a time frame as well as doing the task propley and also to have fun . If you don't know me well here is a fun little background story of my name. I know I was suppose to make a new name for ourselfs but I liked and loved the way my name is and the story behind it all!!
