Current Events Reports are due after every weekend! 

This will prepare every student with material to answer the required current events essay on the final exam.

THE REPORT:  

  • Each report should be a recent news story that deals that specifically deals with a country OTHER than the United States. News Stories solely reporting news from within the US will not be accepted.  However, news relating to the US and its relations with a foreign nation is acceptable.

 

  • The report should be one page in length and should answer the following questions: Who, what, where, when, why, and how.

 

  • The News story should come from any major newspaper or news magazine.  The article MUST be cut out and stapled to the written report.

 

  • The article MUST be a major article. NO NEWS BRIEFS of minor story is acceptable.

 

  • TV News is acceptable IF the student identifies the name of the news program and air date, time and channel.

 

  • If possible, the every student should attempt to follow one or two news stories throughout the year.  This will give the student a deeper insight into one or two stories rather than a shallow understanding of many stories.  THIS WILL AID THE STUDENT IN WRITING THE REQUIRED CURRENT EVENTS ESSAY ON THE FINAL EXAM!
