CNN Student News
Each day we begin class viewing "CNN Student News" and become informed about national and international issues facing us today. This is an excellent forum for students to apply skills that we are learning in Geography to real world scenarios and settings.
To date, news stories have covered an array of topics from Election 2012, Mars, Curiosity Rover, Endangered Species, conflict in Syria, Afghanistan, political jargon busters, texting and driving, among many stories! Aside from the daily "Shout-Out," (this is our favorite portion of the news segment!), we enjoy the news stories that feature information on animals. Did you know that there are only 1600 Pandas in the wild? To learn more about this segment on Pandas and other topics, click on the link above or listen to the library of podcasts!
Our class has become registered with CNN Student News and have placed a "Shout-Out" to be recognized on a future webcast. Wish us luck! We will post the report IF this happens :)
