Your first blog posts are about Landmark Supreme Court cases. We will continue our blogging journey by focusing on current events.
Your job: decide on 1 current event to write about, and find 2 news articles about that event from 2 different news outlets.
All sources should be Trustworthy, Relevant, Accessible and Current. Remember what we learned about media bias from Ms Chessman? Click this link to review if you’re not sure how to find TRAC-worthy sources.
Stuck, or not sure what you want to read and write about? Here’s what Flocabulary included recently:
February 11, they rapped about:
- Olympics (gold medals, COVID, protestors)
- Cancer Moonshot program
- Electrodes helping paralyzed people walk
- Asteroid 130 Elektra
- Washington Football Team: Washington Commanders
- Jane Campion, nominated for Best Director
February 4, they rapped about:

- Save the Redwoods League returning 523 acres to Indigenous tribes
- Milky Way & photo of black hole at the center
- Amy Schneider’s 40-win streak on Jeopardy

Remember, your blog post will focus on a specific event, not a general idea (for example: not ‘the Olympics’ overall, but a specific athlete/ event/ issue).
