Dear Parents and Students:
As announced, Current Events will be mandatory this week. Visit one of the following links and select a story of your choice. The story must relate to the five fields of social studies- history, government, economics, geography, or culture. There are two new additional sites for diversity of reliable sources and most current event stories will be accepted. You may also follow this week's goal to study our two different geographical regions.
7th Grade- Find a current event that took place in Europe.
6th Grade- Find a current event that took place in North Africa.
English Tea will be served to our 7th Grade class during class presentations of Current Events or North African (Arabica) Tea for the 6th Graders. Students, who cannot participate should provide a note and water will be provided. Participating students can have their parents donate Twinings of London Tea (7th Grade) or Tazo Vanilla (6th Grade) tea, for class refreshments.
(And...) Do not forget to write a two paragraph summary of the article in your own words (copy & pasting is not acceptable).
Be sure to include your source of information and a summary of the article. Any questions?
Signing Out- Mr. A
