extra credit: news in Africa
Due: Friday, June 3
Points: 3 possible
Find a recent news article (within the last year or so) from Africa that does not have to do with the negative aspects of conflict (war, etc.), disease or poverty. Find an article that tells you about the lives of people. You might find it helpful to look into major English-language newspapers or news sites in specific countries.
Using our world current events assignments as your guide, write a brief paragraph that includes each of the three components of the regular world current events assignment.

Washington Post today's paper
To access The Washington Post's daily paper online, go to: www.washingtonpost.com/todays_paper.
Alternatively, you can go to Washington Post's homepage and click on the link.
Once you get to Today's Paper, you should see something like this:
What's cool about The Washington Post is that it shows you the entire front page (and other pages). You can then click on the actual article to read it. This way, you, as the reader, can see what the paper deemed to be the most important stories on that day.
Like The New York Times, you can also access up to one week's worth of past front pages. This way, if you didn't get a chance to read the paper on a particular day, you can always catch up.
