 Exercise 3
Use the details below and your own knowledge to write a paragraph about the
sport of lacrosse. Your paragraph can be written in either chronological, spatial, or
compare/contrast order. Indicate which order you are going to use. 
Answers will vary.
Lacrosse originated with the Native Americans. 
Native American teams had as many as 200 people to a side.
The Native American game was called “baggataway.”
The game was later named “lacrosse” by French Canadians, because the netted stick used to
throw the ball resembled a cross.
The first modern game was played by two Native American teams in 1834 using formal rules on
an enclosed field.
Lacrosse is a team sport.
Players use a netted stick to throw or hit a ball into a goal net.
A lacrosse ball is a little smaller than a baseball and is made of rubber.
A lacrosse field is 110 yards long.
A men’s team is made up of 10 players and a women’s team has 12 players.
Players pass the ball back and forth by flipping the crosse with their wrists.
Only goalies can use their hands to deflect the ball.
Games are divided into four 25-minute periods.
