One of my favorite resources for quick current events lessons is CNN Student News. The program has been on hiatus since the end of May. On Monday CNN Student News will resume with new daily episodes. Each episode is about ten minutes long and is accompanied by a written transcript, bullet points, and discussion questions. Each day’s episode appears around 6am EST and the transcripts are available the night before the video appears online.
Here’s a short trailer for the new season of CNN Student News.
