Current Events Assignment

For Tuesday March 28.

1. Find any article about a travel curiosity in the UNited States, like the Biggest Ball of Twine in the World. (Cawker City, Kansas). Spend a few minutes jotting down notes on it. Then return to the classroom as a group and each of you present for 2-3 minutes on the oddity you picked. Then, as a class, vote on which one was the most bizarre and save all the articles for me to look at when I get back. The sub will score each of your presentations on a scale of 1 to 5.



For Thursday, March 28.

These people have current events: Ryan Chancellor, Zach Crain, Patrick Leighton, Michael McCormick.

Article summaries will be posted by then by me from home.
