How about racial stereotyping? There is always something on that and I think it would be a pretty easy subject to write about. Actually some friends of ours were in the news a few days ago because of that. Police pulled them over and arrested them all just because there were two black guys and one white girl in the car on a trip to Texas for a dancing competition. They were all very good friends, but nonetheless the police said that because they were different colors and everything they had to hold them. Then the police proceeded to berate the girl's mother for letting her hang out with 'colored people'.
Of course! Finding an easy and interesting current event for a 5th-grade level can be exciting. One way you can find a suitable subject is by visiting news websites or using online news platforms for kids such as News-O-Matic, DOGOnews, or Time for Kids. These websites provide articles specifically written for children, covering a wide range of topics including science, sports, entertainment, and world events. To find a current event, you can browse through the categories or use the search function to look for a specific topic that catches your interest. Once you find an article or topic you like, you can read it and gather the information needed to write your paragraph. Remember to summarize the article in your own words, include important details, and express your opinion in the paragraph. Good luck!
