World War 2 is obviously not the end of recorded history, as we well. Many important and spectacular things have occurred since the ending of World War 2. Unfortunately, we don't enough time to discuss these items in depth. Instead, we will conduct a short project in which pairs of you will choose a option from the list below and you will create a "Breaking News Bulletin". Each of these events will be of the nature that you can pretend that the events is breaking right now and you can announce the details to the network TV audience.
