International

The search for international news will be both hard and easy. Since there is so much going on in the world, and beings such a big place there will naturally be a lot of news and events to choose from. The hard part will be narrowing it down to what is most relevant with your criteria, and theme.

You will be required to find 3 or more stories that happened around the world, try to find pictures that will go with the articles because you will me making summaries of the news articles to use as captions. When all of your project members have their 3 pieces then it will be time for you and them to get together again to choose how many of your articles will be used for the time capsule, with at least one from each person being used.

To help you in your search to news and events here are three news agencies to start you off. You are not limited to just these three, you are welcome to us anything that is from a reputable news agency. Since most of these sites change their stories daily be sure to copy down the URL so that you can find the articles again at a later date.
