Writing Prompt: In 2009, the state of Washington passed the “Lystedt Law” which protects young athletes from suffering the life-threatening or lifelong consequences that returning too soon to a sports game can cause. The law is named after Zack Lystedt, a young athlete who was permanently disabled after sustaining a concussion during a football game and returning too soon to play. The law, sometimes referred to as the “shake-it-off law.” requires any youth showing signs of a concussion to be examined and cleared by a licensed health care provider before being allowed to return to play. In a multiparagraph essay, write an argument in support of or in opposition to this law. Cite text evidence from any of the four sources to support your claims.

Open the sources in separate tabs so you can refer to them:
