Current events

Assalamu alaikum!
Students are asked to improve their general culture by reading current events! They will have to be able to report on a current event every week.

You can find current events on these websites! Please read an article every week! You will need to fill in your current events handout as well and turn it in EVERY MONDAY MORNING!

Please be aware that not having Internet access at home WILL NOT BE AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE! Please complete this work ahead of time. You can use the computer lab if necessary. Get permission from the Technology teacher first! You can only use the computer lab when it is not in use. Only 2 students from the class will have permission to be in the lab at the same time!
