Each week, 3 students will present a meaningful current event to the class. Each student will be required to present 1-2 times during the marking period. For this assignment, you will create a 1 page report about your current event and you will come up with some activity that will get the class involved. Presentations will generally take place every Friday. Requirements for the written portion 1.) Get your topic approved by me the Monday before you present. Failure to gain approval that Monday will result in a loss of points. 2.) Construct a 1 page (or more) paper about your topic. 3.) The paper needs to be written in Word’s default setting (1 inch margins), 12 point Times New Roman Font, and double spaced. 4.) The paper should include 5 paragraphs. The first paragraph should be an opening where you briefly summarize your article, one paragraph which discusses the importance of the topic, one paragraph that discusses the event’s impact on both the U.S. and the world, one paragraph which discusses how this event affects you or your family, and a conclusion paragraph where you summarize your main points and the significance of the event. 5.) At the top of your page include your name and the title of the article and nothing more. For example: Mr. Kirk The Iraq War 6.) Indent your paragraphs. Spelling, grammar, and conventions count. Also, attach your article to your paper. Requirements for the class activity: 1.) You will make a 10 minute presentation 2.) You will give a brief (1-2 minute summary of your article). 3.) After your summary, you will have the class engage in some kind of activity that extends learning in relation to your current event (extend their understanding of the issues and ethical principals surrounding the event not JUST the event itself). For example, you can have them work in groups to discuss the impact of the event and come up with a solution, you can have them debate your issue with one another, you could have them create something that extends their learning of the issues involved with your topic, you can create a Smart Board activity that engages the class, or any other creative activity you can think of. Essentially, you are becoming a teacher for this activity and teaching your event and the ethical, moral, and social aspects relating to that event to the class *Note* This part of the assignment is not merely a summary and review of your current event. This means, you should not just ask students summarizing questions. You need to extend and enhance their learning in regards to your event. The more creative your activity, the better your grade will be. Although you can have them fill out a worksheet or answer some questions, this is not very creative. Think of ways to either enhance these activities or come up with more creative ideas. Current Events Rubric 10-9 Points Paper is correct length. All paragraphs contain required information.
