March 5 - In Monday's edition of CNN Student News, we report on the impact of severe weather, and we examine a legal settlement related to the largest oil spill in U.S. history. Plus, we consider how the U.S. economy could impact which presidential candidate some African-American voters support. We also share the results of Russia's presidential election, and we mark the start of the world's most famous dogsled race.
1. What's really cool about today's Student News is the fact that Mrs. McReynolds is currently in Alaska and had the chance to witness the start of the Iditarod. What decisions do you think she had to make in order to prepare for her trip and while she is adjusting to the differences in the Alaskan environment? Leave a comment below with your thoughts.
2. Compassion is a vital attribute to have embedded in ones personality. Do you have any compassion for those families that lost everything in the recent tornadoes to hit this country. Pretend you are a candidate for President of the United States and write a letter to the families expressing your thoughts about the recent events. This is going to be a new post titled: My Sympathies To You. Make sure you reference what has happened based on what you learned from the Student News and provide some sort of solution to their problem.
Have fun!
It will be hard because she is not a cussed to that environment
ReplyDeleteI think it would be cool to go to Alaska, Mrs.McReynolds would have to adjust to the coldness of that enviroment.
ReplyDeleteShe would have to wear heavy jackets and make sure not to hit any dogs.
ReplyDeleteI think that she had to make the decision whether to go or not.she had to make sure she had the clothing.She is adjusting to the differences because it's freezing down there and not to cold here because it;s spring so that would be hard for her or anybody.
