Current Events

Everyday there are new and exciting things happening around us. Your job is to report on what is happening in the community and the world around you.The current events program is a year round public speaking program. Each student is required to give four oral presentations about an appropriate, non-violent news article of their choice. On your assigned day, you are to bring in an article from either the newspaper or online and a short summary of the article. Your summary SHOULD NOT be copied word for word from the article. When it is your turn to present, you may use an index card, but you should not read directly from it.Be sure to us the public speaking guidelines that we have discussed in class. Follow the link below to see a schedule for the year. You can also find the schedule on the board in the classroom. Pay attention to your assigned day as it is your responsibility to come to school prepared on that day!
