“I will read and research current events.”

Please use full sentences and check your spelling, punctuation and grammar.
List your sources. (Where did you find the answer?)
Remember to determine what type of NEWSWORTHY category each person/event could be classified as.
Is there conflict or action? Is it timely or novelty (new or unique)? Does it 'impact' a lot of people? Is it close (proximity) or is it about someone important (prominence)? It could be more than one category.
Describe how this current event might be important to you. Explain why or why not.
