Las Noticias (Headlines): The final required segment of your broadcast is to report on 2-3 current stories (each group member does one) from your assigned country (within the last year). This is the only segment that may be done in English. All you need to include on the PowerPoint is the headline and a picture. However, you must also be able to give a brief summary of each news story (in 4-5 sentences). These paragraphs should be typed out in your own words and handed in after you give your presentation. If you copy your paragraph instead of putting it in your own words, you will receive a zero. At the bottom of your paragraph, you must copy and paste the link from the news story so I know what your source is. You cannot receive credit for your paragraph without this link.
