This year, the middle school students will be leading a class discussion on current events with articles of their choice. Each student has an assigned day that he/she must bring in an article that has been analyzed and present it to the class every week. Students have received this worksheet to help with the process. Each grade has an assigned area of focus that the article must be on: 8th Grade - US, 7th - Eastern World, 6th - Western World. Students are able to come in at 7AM for assistance or access to the internet to help in their research!
*Note: 6th grade has not been assigned this task yet but will begin in two weeks.
