Current Events

Final Blog of the Year!!!  Due Wednesday, June 19th.  Be sure you have completed the other 2 blogs for this marking period.  Remember, 1/2 credit is better than NO CREDIT!!!!!!


Find a news article about a current event that deals with the whole country (not just Rochester or NY).  The article can NOT be about pop culture- movies, tv, music, etc.  Once you have selected and read the article,  post a link to it in your comment (just copy and paste the web address of the article).  Then, briefly summarize the article.  Be sure to include answers to the following questions in your summary:

When was the article written?

Who/what is the article about?

Where does the article take place?

Why is the article important/How does the content of the article affect the United States?


Be sure to read some of the summaries of your classmates, and comment on their posts (as always).  Check back occasionally to see if anyone commented on your post- they may have a question about your article that you can/should answer. 

Here are some possible sites that you can look at to find news stories (you are not limited to these suggestions):

http://www.bbc.com/news/world/us_and_canada/
