Current+Events

The events that happen today will be studied in history classes of the future. I feel that it is very important for us, in this class, to not only look at what happened in the past, but also to look at what is going on in the world around us presently. Not only will we gain a greater understanding of how the past influences the present, but we will become far more aware of the world around us.

Periodically, you will find a few questions embedded into a quiz or test that deal with current events. You will be responsible for the material that is on this page regarding current events. The questions that I will ask deal with the "big picture" of the articles (who, what, where, when, why, and how) rather than minor details.
