    Choose an Appropriate Newspaper or Periodical

    Article
    Choose an article from a reliable source, such as a major newspaper or periodical either in print or online, that best fits the
    current events assignment your teacher assigned you. For example, if your science teacher has assigned you a current
    events essay, use either the science and technology section of a major newspaper or an approved science publication or
    website to find an article suitable for your essay.

    2Determine Who, What, Where, When and How


    After choosing an article, read through the article several times and highlight important points within the piece. Use a
    dictionary to define difficult words and read the article aloud to aid in reading comprehension. After reading, use your
    highlighted notes to jot down who, what, where, when and why. This will enable you to determine the angle of the article.
    Once you have an angle, develop a thesis statement that you can support using your article. For example, if you are writing
    about an article on global warming, you might use the following thesis: The UN states that world leaders must come together
    to stop global warming.

    3Develop a Supported Argument for Your Current


    Events Essay
    In the first paragraph, introduce your article by sharing the title of the article, the author and publication. Then briefly
    summarize the article and state your thesis. Refer back to your highlighted article and use the body paragraphs to explain
    how the article proves your thesis statement. For example, if we were to use the global warming thesis statement, the body
    paragraphs would explain how the article proves that leaders and countries need to come together to strategize how to
    prevent further global warming.

    4Make Current Events Connections and Address


    Biases
    After you have completed the body of your current events essay, move to complete the conclusion. Be sure to reaffirm your
    thesis once more and make any other final thoughts or observations in your conclusion. The conclusion is a suitable place to
    discuss the possibility of bias in your article. For example, many newspapers tend to write to a very specific type of
    audience. Use the final moments of your essay to reflect on how bias informs you of the way in which your article was
    created.
