HOW TO PREPARE A CURRENT EVENTS ASSIGNMENT

1. READ an article that piques your interest . You can't get around this. You MUST read the article.
2. Then write your report; typed is always best.
 As always, start with an MLA heading, in the top LEFT corner put your name, teacher's name (Mr. Tuttle),Subject (US History) Period number, and date : 

Your name
Teachers Name
Subject and Period #
Date
                                   Center a title for your report.
​Write ONE Paragraph explaining the event. Who did what where, when Why...
​You should cite your source using an MLA citation.
Write a SECOND Paragraph that explains a connection to something we studied in class. 

THAT IS ALL- You do not need to print the article and you should not give your opinion. ​
