kwl chart about soccer

KNOW: Soccer is one of the most played sports in the world. soccer is a sport that is played with feet only. No player can touch the ball with their hands unless that player is the goalie. I f any player other than the goalie touches the ball with their hands it is a free kick for the other team. if one team pushes or shoves or fouls the other team, the team that fouled gets a yellow card or a red card depending on how bad the foul is.

WANT TO KNOW : Why could they mot use their hands?  Why do they have to use their feet?

LEARNED :  I learned that soccer originated in England in the 1800’s.  Records trace the history of soccer back more than 2,000 years ago to ancient China. Greece, Rome, and parts of Central America also claim to have started the sport; but it was England that transitioned soccer, or what the British and many other people around the world call “football,” into the game we know today.

    Wilber, your question is actually fairly easy to answer from the research you seem to have done so far. If you really want to explore soccer, you might decide write about the way the rules for the game have historically changed over time, and why you think they have changed, or how soccer is played in different countries presently. It is not the same game in every country. So, before you do your research, you have to get your research question approved by me first.
