CURRENT EVENT PROJECT DIRECTIONS<\/b><\/p>\n

Although sports are important factors in society and world cultures, we will not be using sports related articles as current events, unless otherwise allowed.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If I assign a topic of your choice, you may choose any international, national, or local news article you find interesting, except for sports. You must use a legitimate source of information such as the newspaper, an article you find on the internet under a <\/b>news<\/i><\/b> website, or a magazine such as National Geographic, Time or Newsweek.<\/b><\/p>\n

Use your imagination! \u00a0Be creative!<\/b><\/p>\n

Projects can include but are not limited to poster\u2019s, Power Point\u2019s, Prezi\u2019s, diorama\u2019s, mobile\u2019s, cartoon\u2019s, brochure, etc. <\/b><\/p>\n
