Current Events
Expectations
- Students will be required to complete and submit a 5 Ws form each week to Google Classroom. I will present options for current news stories via Flocabulary’s Week in Rap. Students can then choose their own articles and sources for their 5 Ws weekly assignment. Students may choose a story from the Week in Rap, but it does NOT have to be. They may choose something of interest to them.
- Once per trimester, each student will be responsible for a student-led class discussion via a Google Slide presentation. They will choose their presentation dates at the beginning of the trimester.
