Recent News Stories - Spring HWC Current Events Quiz

Can you believe we start class together on Wednesday?  As you know, you'll be taking a quiz on the major news stories from November 1, 2017 until January 21, 2018 on the first day of class.  Remember, you are permitted to use a journal/notes IF you have a paper copy with you in class.  You will not be permitted to leave the room to print or to use your i-Pad. 

I'm sure you all have extensive notes but I thought you might appreciate some hints to narrow your options:

• Net Neutrality
• Tax Reform
• Government shutdown
• California wildfires
• Rohingya crisis
• German government 
• Earthquake in Iraq & Iran
• Saudi anti-corruption purges
• Death at war crimes trial 
• Zimbabwe political developments
• Israeli capital 
• Volcanic eruption in Indonesia
• North Korea provocations
• Russian Olympics ban
• Water crisis in Cape Town, South Africa
• Flu outbreak
• Be sure you know the leader of major world states, international organizations, and American political leaders!

Although the list above is not all encompassing, it should give you a good start.  If you think I missed anything, please don't hesitate to post your ideas as comments to this post.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all first thing in the morning on Wednesday!
