Humanities

This week students will begin presenting their current events. Not all students are presenting on the same day so if you forget your day please ask Ms. M as she has the list.
I have included a copy of the assignment incase you have forgotten your sheet.

CURRENT EVENTS

Directions: Find an article either in the newspaper or online from a newspaper source, CBC, BBC, The Globe and Mail, Time.com, Calgary Herald, The National, etc., or any other reputable national or local source. Read the article and fill out the statements or answer the questions below.  You may not use articles on Entertainment/Gossip or Sports.  Please find and read about important issues in our world today.  Because this is a current events assignment you are to choose an article that is no more than a week old from when the assignment is given.  

You will present your current event on your assigned date and the information you have learned from it.
