While I was away on my last vacation CNN Student News began a new year of videos. Every episode of CNN Student News contains three main segments and a few smaller quiz and trivia segments. Along with each video is a transcript of the video as well as discussion guides, quizzes, and maps when appropriate. The first episode of CNN Student News for the new school year is embedded below.
