Current Events: US History
This is a great activity that will allow students to research current events from around the country. After finding an article from several websites to choose from, students will answer questions around the article topic, the author's purpose was for writing the article, opinion about the article and, whether or not students question the facts or lack of facts given.
Next students will create 6 unique questions about the article, one from each of the Blooms Taxonomy levels .
In part 3 students will write down three questions that they still have after reading the article. =
Finally, part 4 will ask students to think critically in how a newscast might look different for this story, instead of being in written form.
