During this quarter we will increase our global-mindedness through current events. The current events this quarter will be focused on China and the continent of Asia. Five current event forms will be due during this quarter. Every week I will post links to current events you can use. You can also use articles you find as long as you show them to me before hand for approval.
Below are two versions of the current event form. You can complete the form by hand or on the computer. Use the "Current Event Form-No Lines" if you want to complete the form by computer. If you want to make this process paperless, you can fill out the form on the computer, save it to you computer, attach it to an email and email it to me at <cheyenne_cuellar@jsd.k12.ak.us>.
Use this form if you want to type your responses on the computer and then print out the form.
