This week CNN Student News doesn’t have a new episode (regular episodes will resume on August 15). Instead of a new video, this week CNN Student News published a ten question summer news quiz. The quiz covers news stories both political in nature and lighter cultural/ societal topics. Each question has a featured related image. After answering each question students have the option to click through for more information about that story.
Applications for Education
