CNN 10
CNN 10 is a great way to get students involved in global issues in short 10 minute segments.
I would use CNN 10 as they are short videos that are kid friendly that engage students in real world global events. I would pair this up with graphic organizers and other data collection sheets for students to analyze and explore these events to be able to think critically about them.
