Current+Events

You must complete your current event on a clean, untorn piece of looseleaf. The current event should be 4-5 paragraphs long. Please pay close attention to grammar and writing structures, as well as the content of your writing. Your topic must come from one of these three fields: nutrition, Canadian culture, or the benefits of reading.

Current events are important, significant happenings that are usually covered in the news. In general, they tend to be happenings that are important to everybody, or maybe just a few people.

When analyzing a current event, you must consider the following:

What?-what is the story about? Who?- who is the story about? Who is involved? Where?- where does the story take place? When?- when does the story take place? Why?- why is this story taking place? This may involve some thinking. How?- how did this story happen?


 * -Please keep in mind that you may not be able to answer all of the questions.**

Your task is to answer as many of the questions above as possible. To do this, you must read the article involved, or pay close attention to the broadcast that you are watching. Often, you may have to do this more than once.

Each section should be answered with a paragraph. Each paragraph should have an introductory sentence, 3-4 supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence that wraps up the thoughts of the paragraph. Please ensure that each sentence pertains to the topic of the paragraph.
