Current Events 2

United States History 2 – Spring 2009

Mr. Ames

In an effort to keep up with the world around us, we will begin presenting current events on Monday, February 2. In general, you will be presenting a summary of the article to your classmates, and handing in - in writing - the pieces that are listed below.

Directions: In the days prior to your assigned “current event” presentation, you will need to find an article in a current (no older than five days) newspaper, news-magazine, or Internet news source that interests you and you feel is important. You will need to prepare your presentation in the proper format prior to the beginning of class. Presentations will be made at the beginning of each class.

Your presentation will include the following: 1) What the article is about - a brief summary - and why it is important; 2) Two specific facts that you learned; and 3) one question that the article raised for you.

Order of presentations: The presentation order will follow the class list, beginning with ????.
