I'm making up a simple quiz for my students about the main news stories of the year.
Feeling a bit dozy today and all I can think of is:
credit crunch
US elections, and
the olympics
What were the other big (preferably international) news stories of the year?

Pluto was no longer regarded as a planet (I'm not 100% sure if that was in 2008 though).
England didn't get to play in this year's football cup.
The Large Hadron Collider thing
Russia + Georgia at war
Launch of Apple's iPhone 3G
New Mayor of London - Boris Johnson
Attacks in Mumbai
Jean Charles de Menezes Inquest
The Darwins were sentenced
Olympics but also Chris Hoy getting Sports Personality of the Year
Earthquakes in China and the problems with poisoned milk.
so rather than create a whole quiz, I'm just going to show that video and have a discussion. I doubt they will know who Karen Matthews/Russell Brand is, but there's a lot of international stories covered in the video.
