What can YOU do?

There are many things going on in the world today - many of which you have great interest in! Your task today is to find an article that deals with something you care about in the world and post it on the blog. The article that you find should be from one of the websites on the “Popular News” website on the side bar.

Once you have your article, post a link to it on the blog below and answer the following questions:

  1. What does you article deal with? What is the overall topic?
  2. Why is this topic/issue important to you?
  3. Why should others care about this topic?

Be sure to use effective sentences, subject verb agreement, and be thorough (8+ sentences, each!) with your answers!
