Current Event: April 8, 2011

Happy 4th Quarter in C&E. We have finally entered the Economics portion of the class. This week, I would like you to read a current event and post your summary/analysis on an article relating to economics. Feel free to focus on the United States or search internationally, but make sure that your article is on the money. :) Find something that interests you and share your knowledge with you classmates.

Last Current Event of 3rd Quarter! Due: 3/18

This is the very last current event posting for 3rd Quarter...can you believe it? :) This week's posting should be on the topic of your CHOICE or in response to one of your classmates' posts from the last few weeks. There is a lot going on in the world right now from budget issues and locked state legislative bodies to international crises in Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. Be a good world citizen and stay informed. I look forward to reading your posts.

Current Event DUE 3/11

Post them! :) Last week we had a record number of posts...maybe it was Uncle Sam???

Current Event for 3/4

Happy March! Now march your way through another fantastic current event post on the same topic of your choice. :)  Even if you are not covering the Middle East/North Africa or world events, make sure to check out some of your classmates' posts. There is some MAJOR stuff going on abroad in the name of democratic freedoms. Stay informed! Happy posting.

Current Event, 2/25

Keep those current events coming! Many of you had computer difficulties last week. Try writing up your current event before Friday (just an idea). Remember, if you have issues with the computer/posting to the blog, e-mail me your post along with a link to your article or hand in a hard copy. Have a great week with your political parties and find some interesting current events from your areas of expertise! :)

Current Event, 2/16

Post them! (same topic)

Current Event, 2/11

Great job with the posts last week, Civics! :) You are finding interesting and relevant articles and doing a great job with the summary component. Several of you need to make sure to relate the article to our class discussions/your own life. Don't lose points for deviating from the format. Keep up the good investigative work and make sure to check out your classmates' posts...they're really well written!
