Current Events - Schedule is attached below. Students will get 1 week reminder before presentation date.
Throughout the year, students will be finding current event articles and sharing them during our Social Studies class. I think it is very important that students know what is going on in the world around them. With that being said, I want the kids to find meaningful, appropriate, and informational articles to share with the class. While I am a big Patriots fan, an article on them winning week 12 isn't exactly newsworthy or educational to the class. Try and find something that can relate to what we are studying, or that is educational or helpful to know.
Overview:
Students will find articles and present them to the class based on current events happening in the world. They will fill out the graphic organizer, attach the article and be prepared to locate where the new story took place on a map or globe.
Objectives:
- Use newspapers, magazines, articles, online to find current events
- Find the main idea of the article
- Identify the important people/things in the article.
- Identify the location
- Identify the author and the publication
- Use map and globe skills
- Make a text to self, text to world, text to text, or text to history connection
Below you will find the dates for each presentation and the student whose day it is to present. You will also find the graphic organizer that is needed to be filled out.
