Falling satellites! Obamacare ruckus! The largest typhoon in history! 3-D printed guns! There are a number of interesting new stories happening in the world. Choose a new current event and write six paragraphs describing the cause, location, and consequences in a brand new blog post. Include your gut feeling about whether this is a good or bad prospect.
Give an update or expansion of your current event topic. What has happened during the past two weeks? How has the situation changed? If there is no change, then go into more detail about the particulars of your topic. (five paragraphs)
OK you hatas, it is time to start your blog project. Over the next ten weeks you will focus on a national or international
current event. You are to comment on each other's blog posts and support one another. All conversation must be civil and respectful. Your assignment today is to start a new post in which you start addressing a news story that has caught your attention. In five paragraphs, give the background of your current event. Where is it taking place? What are the root causes? How long has it been occuring? How many people are affected? Why does this topic interest you? Tell me about yourself. Give me a brief biography. What are your likes/dislikes? What are your goals and dreams? What is your favorite thing in the whole wide freaking world?
