To keep up with the daily stream of important developments in the weeks before Donald Trump takes the oath of office and becomes our next president on January 20, your assignment over the break is to keep a "pre-inauguration journal" documenting events, announcements, controversies, appointments, protests, etc. that happen over the next 10 days.
Your assignment is to:
1. Use my list of good news sources, or do your own research from other reputable news sources, and choose at least 4 separate events related to Trump becoming President that you think are important / interesting. The list of news sites is here: http://7icehumanities.blogspot.com/p/the-new-york-times-washington-post.html
2. Read the article/s carefully. You may need to look up words or references, or talk to an adult who may be able to help you.
3. Write a summary in your own words of what happened for each event.
4. Write your thoughts/reactions/questions about each event.
When possible, try to make connections with things we have discussed in class in our discussions of current events, propaganda, rhetoric, and Animal Farm.
Be sure to include the website, title, author, and date of each article you use.
