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.
