Quarterly Current Event Reactions
Sometimes with our busy lives, we don’t get a chance to reflect on what’s going on around us. The world is in constant motion and we need at least pay attention once a week. Each week we will examine what you deem important in the world.
You must sign up each quarter to complete 1 current event reaction and share it with the class. You will need to complete the Current Event Reaction worksheet fully to receive your 25 points. You must include the article with the worksheet or email Mr. Z the link to the article, failure to do so will result in a 0 for the assignment. No reports from a television news broadcast or radio!
You will sign up for your day to complete the assignment and it must be ready on that day. NO SPORTS RECAPS, GOSSIP MAGAZINE ARTICLES, OR MURDERS. We’re looking for concrete information, no fluff.
Good places to look for articles:
Newsela (Class code: GUXOJ)
cnn.com
Newspapers
Time, Life, Newsweek magazines
