Current Events Assignment

Part of Social Studies is making sure we take the time to look at and understand the world around us. This year as part of our Current Events Curriculum you will be working in a group and creating a blog so that you can explore some of these events and reflect on how they may impact your lives.

As a part each post of your blog I would like to see the following things:

1. A link to or the the article or video of the event you are looking at embedded in your blog.
2. The title of the article or video and author.
3. The date when you found it.
4. What you think the theme is? E.g. Environment, Education, Health...
5. A short summary of what it is about.
6. Whether or not you thought that there was any bias.
7. How this event may impact YOUR lives.

For this assignment you will be in groups of three and I would like to see at least one post in your blog per week.
This assignment is going to count towards your 10% homework grade. I will be checking your blogs each Monday to see that you have completed this task.
