WHAT IS A CURRENT EVENT???

This has been the most popular question since the beginning of the year and hopefully this will help. The following is an easy 1-2-3 step process to find an article for your current event and what to do. At the bottom of the page is a copy of what is on the syllabus.

(1) Go to an internet news source.
 * CNN ([|www.cnn.com])
 * Fox News ([|www.foxnews.com])
 * BBC ([])
 * Channel 4 News ([])
 * Channel 5 News ([])
 * Channel 8 News ([])
 * Channel 11 News ([])
 * Yahoo News ([])
 * Google News ([])

(2) Select any article that is at the top of each page, or you may go to the "Politics","World","National" news tabs as well.

(3) Print off the article and write a 5-8 sentence summary on the article.

(4) Bring it to school and read your 5-8 summary to the class for a grade. Be sure to staple your article to your summary and store it behind your "Current Events" tab in your Texas History binder.
