CURRENT EVENTS AND SUMMARIES

Please explore the following links below. They are really great places to get relevant news about our world. Find two articles that interest you that have some sort of length to them (in other words DO NOT CHOOSE ARTICLES THAT ARE VERY SHORT!)

First head your paper with the MLA style heading. After you read the article, put the title of the article centered on your word document after the heading. Next, write a one paragraph summary of the article. DO NOT COPY ANYTHING WORD FOR WORD FROM THE ARTICLE. That would be plagarism!


Finally, in a second paragraph rate the website based upon its usefulness to you as a middle school student. Would you recommend friends to go here? Did you find the information useful and age-appropriate? On a scale of 1-5 (1 being outstanding, 5 being not useful at all) rate this website.


Make sure you write in complete sentences and organize your thoughts. Part of your grade will rely on quality writing and editing.
