P2_LastName_CurrentEvents10 (the 10 = week #10)

Today's Assignments

This includes 2 (current event) stories.
1- needs to be within Africa and 1 needs to be from somewhere else.

Make sure you are making progress on your Africa Political and Physical Maps - your test on those maps is the Tuesday/Wednesday that we return from Spring Break (April 21st, and 22nd)

Please make sure you follow the format for Current Events - full credit will only be given if you clearly express your opinion of the event and why you chose to write on it.


Objective: Each student will be able to identify a current event story, summarize its key components into a summary paragraph, as well as plotting the location of the story on a map of the country in which it occurred.

Rationale: Students need to gain a better understanding of events occurring around the world and where those places are located.

Evidence: By summarizing a story and plotting it on a map, students will show evidence of a global perspective on events affecting the world beyond their immediate surrounding.
