Latest News- Period 1

Many people consider teenagers apathetic about the world in which they live. (If you do not know what apathetic means, LOOK IT UP!) Teenagers are seen as vain and self-centered with little knowledge of the news other than the latest celebrity trash gossip.
PROVE THEM WRONG!

Write about a news worthy event or controversy that you are concerned about or interested in. Describe the event or controversy and why it interests you. What is your opinion, stance or solution? Why should others be aware of your topic?  If you are unfamiliar with any news events, then go to a news website and start reading.  msn.com, BBC news and NPR are all good news sources.

Remember: FOUR sentences or more to post and two or more to reply. Use PROPER GRAMMAR or else I take 30 points off. I is always capitalized.
