Today you are going to be choosing a news article for a current events presentation. You will be giving a presentation to the class about your current event.

Please remember that you must choose a RELIABLE NEWS SOURCE, like one of the news sources below, or well known publications, such as TIME, The New York Times, CNN, etc. You will need to complete a website evaluation form for your site to prove that it is reliable.

Once you have found a great, current article, have it approved by the teacher, and sign up so no one else can do that article. 😀 No 2 students should present on the same news article/topic.

Once you have chosen your article, had it approved, and signed up for it, complete the website evaluation form to determine how reliable your website is. If you get 16 or more points, you can use it, if not, then you need to choose a better website. After that, you can start gathering information using the 2016 Current Events Fact Sheet.
