Current Events: Week of 9/2

Hey kiddies! Congratulations on finishing our first week! You may have noticed there are a few new additions to the list of student blogs on the left sidebar as well as two new sections titled "News Sites" and "Resources". These are some resources that I've gathered for you that you can use for school and other classes. Also feel free to check out what your friends have been doing on their blogs (and comment)!

For your homework over the weekend, please go to the Teen Tribune page and pick out an article from this week that interests you. The article should at least five paragraphs long. Read the article then write up a short blog post.

In your blog post, briefly summarize what the article was about. This should be one paragraph and include the 5Ws of Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. Then write down your reactions to or thoughts about the article, making sure you answer the Critical thinking challenge question at the bottom of the article. This part should be longer than the summary (1-2 paragraphs)!

Please don't pick an article that someone else has written on. If someone else has already claimed the article, you must write on something else. First come, first serve!

Your post will be due by midnight on Monday 9/9. I will be checking your blogs and commenting on the posts!

Have fun this weekend!
