Current Events-DUE each Friday 1. For your assigned country, you will bi-weekly be responsible to read a current event about your country and turn in a written summary of and reflection about the article. (Girls one week;boys the next)An article may come from a newspaper clipping, a magazine clipping, or an internet source. The article must be in English and a copy (original clipping, print out from the internet) must be attached with your written summary and reflection. 2. For your SUMMARY, you must read the article and then write a 6 sentence summary stating the Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why of the article. Don’t just list these, but write a good summary stating the main ideas and facts presented. No opinion is used in a summary unless it was the article writer’s opinion. 3. For your REFLECTION, write a 6 sentence paragraph sharing your thoughts, ideas, reactions, reflections and opinions of what you learned in the article. For example: Do you agree or disagree with the article? Why or why not? What did you like? What did you dislike? What would happen if people tried this in the USA?, etc. There is no set way to reflect and each time (depending on the article) you may reflect differently to what you have read. 4. Include your complete heading on your paper and correctly cite the source you used according to MLA style from Page 121 in your student daily planner. 5. PLEASE—Have fun learning about another part of the world that you would not normally read about!!
