Current Events

Current event assignments are due EVERY FRIDAY that we have school, starting this week. Today we are going to do the first current event together to make sure you know what to do. After this week, you will be on your own to get the work done.

You can find news information for your current event from newspapers, magazines, online sources, TV or radio, just make sure you include the source information. Here are some helpful online sources for news:

• Star Tribune
• Pioneer Press
• CNN
  
• Student News Daily

You can choose the topic for your current event, but you SHOULD NOT do sports or entertainment news, unless it is a bigger issue. Check with me if you're not sure what counts as a bigger issue.

Class Syllabus

Just in case you need another, here is a link to our class syllabus. Make sure that you and a parent/guardian sign it, and bring it back by tomorrow (Friday)!
