CURRENT EVENTS
Mike and I were assigned to create a current event
project together. I really enjoyed
working on this assignment. At first we
weren’t sure what to do for this project.
Mike and I decided to go through the NewsELA website and look for an
article there to use. NewsELA is a great
site with many current event articles that can be searched for through age
group and reading level. It was there
that we found an article for the use of police officers in the classroom. After reading the article we decided to create
a debate to present in the classroom. We
would start off by asking what the definition of a true debate is and how is it
useful to get your point across. Then we
would go over the key elements of a good debate. We would call on volunteers to discuss their
thoughts on this. Why is it important to
discuss some subject areas through a debate?
When discussing political values vs personal utilizing a debate is a
great way to get your point across. Once
we went over all the key details of a debate we would break the class up into
groups and begin the debate. Unfortunately
I was sick the day we were suppose to do our current event and Mike had to do
it alone. I know that he did a great job
and I wish that I was able to be there to do it with him.
