Current Events

What's in the news?

Well, after telling you all about it, it's now time for you to tell ME about it.

Pick ANY news story--it must be news however (not sports, editorials, gossip, etc.)--and research it. Your research should include multiple news stories or videos, and you should have a running list of facts associated with it.

• Pick the topic
• Read multiple stories/view multiple videos
• Keep running list of the links--we want to know where you attribute your information
• Keep a running list of the facts
• Keep a timeline of the important dates associated with the story

You'll want to keep current with the assignment--as in check it daily, whether you have class or not, or if you're finished with your current assignment.

You will be called randomly to tell me, "What's in the News?" and it will count as an assignment grade!

Headlines!
