Assignments and rubrics

Here is the link to the news report template:News report. Either make a copy and save to your Google Drive or print a copy and handwrite your responses. You may choose any news article that interests you. Although not required, I would suggest you consider finding an article about conflict or war so that you can incorporate some of the material during our Global Conflict unit class discussions. The completed news report is due by Tuesday, 9/2/14. You can submit through email or just turn it in on Tuesday. Please remember that spelling and grammar errors count against your final score. Turn in your best work.
