Current Event Guidelines ** What is it? **A current event is a summary of a recent article taken from a newspaper, magazine, internet site, etc. (A recent article has to have been written within the __past 30 days__.) These articles do not have to be related to our curriculum but it will be invaluable for the students to find topics that do relate. ** Do I need to turn in the article? **__Yes!!__ You // must // turn-in your article with your current event. You will lose points if you turn-in/present a current event without the article. ** What type of format will I use? **Each student will complete __one__ current event over the next two quarters. ** Guidelines for a Written Current Event: ** Your current event needs to be at least a paragraph of 5-8 sentences. If it is handwritten, then it needs to be on notebook paper with neat, handwriting utilizing the paper’s margins. It can also be typed if you'd prefer to use this format. Additional pictures/ props/ web links are very welcomed to add information to your Current Event. ** Guidelines for an Oral Current Event: ** You may write-out what you want to say on notecards or a sheet of paper to summarize your article for the class. ** You may __NOT__ just read the article to the class. ** You are expected to speak loudly and clearly so all can hear. You will be expected to answer questions from your classmates about your article after your presentation.
