Choose a book to read in any section of the Media Center. As you are reading your book, choose five current news stories that are published in The Courier, that you think your character would be interested in. To complete this challenge, you will need to provide a summary of the article as well as a clear connection between your character and the article. In your connection, please explain how those particular stories would either help your character or interest them in their lives. For example, if you are reading Soul Surfer, she might be interested in the news story about an airplane’s cargo compartment defaulting and frozen fish falling from the sky.
