7th Grade Current Events!
Current Events!
Every week we will examine events in the news. I will assign a topic on Monday and you have until Friday to locate an article on that topic. We will present our findings every week, unless notified otherwise. You are to analyze that article using the questions on the Current Events worksheet; or by identifying:
1. Article Title
2. Author's Name
3. News Source (Title of Newspaper or web address)
4. What? (summarize in your own words!)
5. Who?
6. When and Where?
7. Why is this important?
8. How does this connect to you personally?
Here are a few helpful news sources:
