Current Events Assignment
Overview: This year our 5th Grade Class is going to research a current event. Each student will be responsible to find the event, and then complete the attached worksheet.
Sources: Each student may use a newspaper, news website, or magazine to search for their current event. If the article is found from a hard copy newspaper or magazine, it must be cut out from its source. If the article is found from the internet, it must be printed off from the website.
Worksheet: Each student will need to complete the attached worksheet to go along with their current event. Handwriting must be neat and legible.
Presentation: Each student will present their current event in class. On the day of the presentation, each student will need to be prepared to bring a hard copy of their current event article, and worksheet to class.
Schedule: Each student is assigned a specific day to present their current event. I will pass out the current event assignment to the assigned student one week prior to the due date.
Grade: The current event will be part of the homework grade.
