CURRENT EVENTS post by Monday 3/31

This must be ready for the day you return to school after the break.  Do not forget #3.  I think ZY is already done!

1. Find a recent news story online in print or in video that you can understand, and can explain to the rest of the class. You should also read/listen to the story in your own language; however, you must also listen/read to it in English and share it in English. International news is the best choice.  Paste a link to the story in your assignment blog post: post an English link, please.

2. Write a summary of the story. This must be in sentences, and about 300 to 500 words, and
IN YOUR OWN WORDS. This is the part you explain.

3. Choose five most important or new vocabulary words to explain to the class. Define them in simple English, in your own words, so everyone should understand.

5. Post to your blog, with the title: "Current Events: XXXXXXX"
