So I don?t usually like to post about homework assignments, but I really need some help with this one. I don?t want you to do the assignment for me, but some advice would be greatly appreciated. For my social studies class, we need to bring in a news article and discuss the topic at length with the teacher and the class. There are lots of news stories in the papers that I am interested in, but none that I could talk about for a long period of time.
Maybe my problem is that I have to talk about it in front of the class. I am not excited about that part, but I don?t have a choice on whether or not I can do it. I am also worried about finding a topic that will keep the interest of the class. I like politics, so I am leaning towards that topic. The thing about that is that I don?t really want to talk about my political beliefs too much in class. Of course it is a government class, but all sides should be represented. Maybe there will be someone in the class that has the complete opposite view from mine.
It is getting late and I really need to get started on this assignment. I guess I will go scour the newspaper and maybe look online to see what I can find. There has to be some current event topic that no one else will think to choose. Current events assignments shouldn?t be this hard, I don?t know why I do this to myself!
