Problem:
"Current" means an article published within the last week when your summary is due. News stories with geography-related content can include anything related to weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, record snowfalls or temperature, etc), natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, etc), climate-change/global warming, pollution, demographics, border & boundary changes/disputes, mapping, species habitat, water, etc. The one realm into which I do not want you to stray is anything related to outer space (planets, asteroids, NASA-anything). Granted, geography encompasses and touches an enormous range of scientific and cultural areas, but this is a geography, not an astronomy course. If you are unclear as to whether or not a story qualifies as geographic, please contact me before you do any more work on it.
- Once you have identified a suitable and interesting Current Event, post a summary (not a cut-and-paste of the article) in the CE section of Discussions. This summary must be at least 300
