Story of the Week
A regularly scheduled current events assignment known as "Story of the Week" is intended to help students apply historical events and themes to current events and issues. It is important students are aware of local, state, national, and international issues impacting their lives and shaping the history of tomorrow.

In preparation for our Friday class periods, students will complete and bring with them the "Story of the Week" organizer which can be found below. I DO NOT HAND THESE OUT EVERY WEEK! I am trying not only to go green, but to increase student responsibility in meeting deadlines (a workplace essential!)
