This semester-long class will focus on matters affecting the United States and the world on a day-to-day basis. An emphasis will be placed on problem areas such as the Middle East and East Asia. In addition, domestic and foreign affairs of the United States will be addressed. Also, a current look will be given to matters that affect us in our own state and region. Students will have weekly news quizzes and will have to submit news article summaries that can come from a newspaper, magazine, or internet. Students will also watch news programs on a daily basis.
