Current Events
A big part of our class will be discussing ongoing events from around the world. It is very important to be aware of the world around us, but also to be aware of where we are getting our news/information from.
As an introduction to news/current events, we are going to exam various news sources that we can use to gather information. We will also discuss the idea of bias, and how we can recognize bias in the news.
