CURRENT
EVENT LINKS
REMEMBER,
you have a week to complete your current event. DON'T WAIT until the night
before the event is due. You may encounter Internet/Printer problems. Technology
failure is NOT
an excuse for a late Current Event.
Great sites, BUT
REMEMBER,
an article from a newspaper is ALWAYS
acceptable. If your printer is not working, use a newspaper or see Mrs. Osborn.
