Current Events Project (4th and 5th grade)

                                    Current Events

Current events articles will be collected twice a month (on Fridays). I have attached a list of dates that articles are due. The articles are to be collected from the newspaper or can be printed from the internet (newspaper). Students must answer the questions below about their articles. They are to write or type out their assignment. All assignments are to be between two and three paragraphs. Be sure to check for have proper punctuation, capitalization and good sentence structure. If you need any assistance completing the activities, or if you need help locating articles, you may come see me. Please do not wait until the last night to complete these assignments, as they will take some time.


Questions to answer:

• Who is the article about?

• What happened/what is the main idea in the article?

• When did this event take place?

• Where did the topic of the article or event occur?

• Why did this occur or how does this affect us?

• Your feelings?
