Per mercoledi due marzo duemila sedici

Learn by heart the due date for your comments.

Google these three Italian newspapers: La Stampa, Il Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica.

Learn to spell them correctly and also find out what they mean.

Find at least one article that mentions "gli Stati Uniti".  Try to figure out what the topic is (not very difficult): DO NOT USE A TRANSLATOR. Push your brain, stretch your imagination. See how many words you recognize in a couple of paragraphs.

You will find lots of stuff about politics, wars, etc.  If you can, find something a little lighter that tickles your curiousity.

COMMENT: copy the exact sentence where "gli Stati Uniti" appears and give us a brief summary of what you read (in English.)
Avoid repetition which means, do not double up on reading the same article someone else already introduced.

REPLY:  read your classmates findings, choose one article that goes in the direction of your interests and mention the reason of your choice (in inglese.)

  1. Da ultimo si è aggiunto un ulteriore grattacapo diplomatico, dopo il disgelo tra gli Stati Uniti e Cuba: il governo dell'Avana chiede la restituzione di Guantanamo, base militare che si trova ad un'estremità dell'isola caraibica.

    The article talks about Obama wanting to close Guantanamo because it violates the values of the american people. He says its a bad symbol and stain on our legal system. Cuba wants Guantanamo back but Obama says no.

  2. Il parto è avvenuto negli Stati Uniti, dove Nichi ed Ed aspettano il riconoscimento formale della paternità.

    The former governor of Puglia is having a baby through surrogacy. He may not be able to be a father, since Italy's laws may cause a hassle for him to follow through with adoptions. His partner and him are trying to create a family but political ties get in the way.

    1. It's sad to hear that this family is going through this. I choose this article to respond to because it reminds me of how rigid the minds of some people are on the idea of families with same sex parents.
