***Note regarding Current Events writing
Below are the most common reasons points are taken off when I grade current event summaries:
- Summary is not well written or plagiarism is noted.
- Opinion paragraph does not have clear ideas or analysis. Opinion needs to be based on more than an emotional response.
(For example, do not write only about how you "feel" about a current event)
Write about how the event effects you, (or others) economically, politically, or socially.
- Minor points are taken off for spelling and grammar errors
- Your current event heading should have: article title
source (newspaper or online?)
date of article
people involved in the story
location (where did the story happen?)
