With the internet, as well as television, radio, and newspapers, the availability of news items for current events reports far exceeds what was available only a few years ago. The report only needs to be about a paragraph long, summarizing the topic and point made by a news item. Try to find out where the event happened (setting) and then write a few sentences telling about the item.
Cards are available in the classroom for writing the current event report.Of course you can use notebook paper or write it in the Readers' Notebook as well. There are lots of different kinds of news items as you may already know. Try to find the non-sensational and the non-horrifying kind. Lots of good and worthy things happen in the world, too.
