CURRENT EVENTS Students may complete ONE current event per trimester. Find a news article in English that has to do with the Spanish-speaking world. Make sure to include the source of the article, 5 sentence summary of the article, 5 sentence reflection (all of these parts in English). Also create a Spanish/English dictionary with 10 new words from the article. Make sure to include the definite article(el la los las) if it is a noun. Por ejemplo, island - la isla If it is a verb make sure that you write the Spanish in original form (infinitive) correr - to run
