Current Events

Good Morning and Happy Friday!  Today should feel especially sweet because you get to look forward to the 3 day weekend that is ahead!  Hopefully you have something fun planned.  Today, our lesson is going to be centered around the Current Event assignment you will be completing throughout the semester.  I would like each of you to take a few minutes, go online and choose a news article (let's agree that it should be within the last week) and write a brief reflection on it.  Your reflection should include:

1.  A summary of the article

2.  A description of how this current event has an impact of the nation, state or even our local area

3.  An explanation of why this article was interesting to you and why everyone in the class (and your community) needs to be aware of this.

For today, you can write just a quick sentence or two about each of these points.  In addition, please highlight how and where you found the article!  Please also indicate which of the 11 categories your article would best fit.

Remember - topics include: Economic, International, Environment, Technology, State, Education, Local, Personal Interest, Domestic, Politics and Science.

Thanks!!!  I look forward to learning about what is going on in our local area, our country and the world.
