Evangelical Christian group in Florida Plans to Burn Korans.

VOA news september 7. A reverend, terry jones, Is leading a Koran burning demostration on sep 11. He says that he is promoting religous tolerance and he is able t do this becuase of our first amendment. General patreaus announced on the news yesterday for mr. jones to not do this brash and hateful action becuase he will but american soliders lives at risk. This is an important story becuase it is relevant to current events. and this is another developemnt in the amercian islamophobia crisis. The reverend is obviously narrowminded and off his rocker. He is going to insult and defame a entire population of people, when the people that he hates are only 2% of that population. He is also providing propaganda for the insurgents to use against America.

Class summary

I learned that Canada is a country, not a French colony. I learned that colonialism and imperialism is not the same thing. That imperialism is not always direct control of a country. I learned about the Berlin Conferance. But i still have questions about why America still has colonies and what resources did we want to get out of the Philippines. I want to learn more about the romans and how friggan smart they were even though they existed thousands of years ago. They are my favorite empire of all. Sorry America

  1. What's being discussed in this article?
  2. When did the event happen? (Is this breaking news or something that's been analyzed and discussed for a while?)
What questions do you have that would help make this article make more sense to you? What more do you need to learn about to be able to report on this event?

The article is discussing the finding of the bodies of murder migrant workers. This even happened five days ago and is still considered breaking news. I would like to know why exactly the migrants were murder, instead of speculation. and i would like to know more information on the drug cartels and have more light draw to their actions.

News worthy events

I say they are : 9/11, The Tsunami, and the death of Michael Jackson.

My parents say: 9/11, The Munich Massacre, and the announcement of the first Gulf War.
