Current Events Oral Presentation: Worksheets, Rubric, & Student Self-Assessment
This project-assignment is perfect for any high school Socials or English classes, where students need to seek out, select, read, reflect, and present a news story that is important to them, sharing it with the class and leading a brief class discussion.
