<p>upon returning to school, we have a "summer news quiz" on anything and everything that could've happened anywhere in the summer. the myth goes (it's true) everyone fails it because it's just too vague and difficult. how do i study for it? where do i look? what do i do!? </p>
<p>thanks!!!</p>
<p>You research news sites of the 6 countries you’re studying.</p>
<p>Or…</p>
<p>Ken Wedding Blog. Google it, learn from it. All you need.</p>
<p>This comparative or US?</p>
<p>it’s for US</p>
<p>Then my recommendation is to check US news sources. There are far too many not to pick up on what the government is doing. That’s a horrible summer assignment, btw.</p>
<p>tell me about it… hence why my friend got a 12% on it last year…</p>
<p>Get a Red Bull and go through 2 months of NY Times and CNN Headlines.</p>
<p>Oh god… That’s the issue. How do I even find these headlines?! What a ■■■■■■■■ assignment…on top of that… He expects you to be aware of local, domestic, and internation occurences. WT*!!!</p>
<p>Google is your friend. The gov’t stays in the news. And Global issues, it’s not that hard.</p>
<p>Look through CNN’s, BBC’s, etc twitter. You can find major headlines tweeted by them. YouTube also works. People make videos commenting on whatever news, so you can just look through the channel and check out the headlines.</p>
<p>This is the easiest thing you can do, I think.</p>
<p>I know… But how do I make a nice little list of all the events that occured from june up until now… Its just too loose! Is there a single website I can go to? A blog anyone can recommend I read?</p>
<p>ny times has archives i’ve been using for my gov assignments so you could check that. but that sucks! i’m glad i don’t have to do anything like that. good luck!</p>
<p>You probably should have watched the mother****ing news.</p>
<p>^like</p>
<p>Yea, just literally go to CNN.com and look through all the past news stories of the last few months. They cover national and international news. BBC would also be very good. There is no real concrete list of events. I would recommend the wikipedia page “2010” (as in the year), but they don’t list every major news story, just the largest ones, like the Oil Spill and the Kagan nomination</p>
<p>You can also real the Wikipedia headline archives, they usually have most of the major happenings listed.</p>
<p>TBH though you should’ve really just watched the news all summer haha or just read yahoo front page atleast everyday.</p>
<p>Just don’t give a damn and take the test when you take it</p>
<p>Thats what I would do</p>
