Current Events Information

JROTC

Communication skills are critical in our society.  As the “sender or transmitter” of the information, both written and verbal tell the “receiver” something about our education level. 

Weekly current events develop these communication skills, and improve your writing confidence.  As your oral presentation improves, you believe in your own ability to speak and brief an audience.

TOPICs will vary.  You must choose one of the following topics IF NO TOPIC given to you by me the Wednesday 1 week prior:  Military, Government, Politics, Economy.

Let the written report be a representation of you and through it, sell yourself to all those who read it.
