Please help with the following:

Develop a 700-1,000-word paper that summarizes a recent event that occurred in the Middle or South American realm and that you can relate to geography (i.e., physical, cultural, political, economic). Please Note: The event MUST have occurred during the past 39 days and must not be ongoing (i.e., global warming) or recurring (i.e., a routine status report). The news article also must have been published during the past 39 days.

Begin the paper with an introduction that includes a thesis statement and previews the major points of the paper. Summarize the event in one to two paragraphs, citing appropriate sources in APA format. Include the cited sources in the references, also in APA format.

Submissions should demonstrate critical thinking and the ability to pull together information from a variety of sources. A simple restatement of information from the textbook, news article, blog, a general opinion, or only a summary of the news report will earn very few points.
