News+Links

** If you have access to a computer, newspaper, television, or radio there is no reason for you to not be up-to-date with the news. There is always a way to find out about local, national, and international news especially if you have a computer! Below I have made it very simplistic for you to access scholarly news sites. Social studies is the study of society - you should be taking an in depth look at two news article a day. ** ** Another weekly assignment that you are going to have to do is to read at a minimum of 3 news articles a week and write one spew per news article. Your spew is to be a minimum of one page and has to be insightful - be creative and throw your personality and opinions into all of your spews.**
