Shepard - CNN Student News Podcast

I decided to subscribe to CNN Student News podcast/video since I will be teaching Government next year for seniors and would like to incorporate current events. This podcast is a 10 minute, commercial free, daily news program for middle school and high school students. These are produced by journalists and educators at CNN. The podcasts are easy to understand and follow and do not use a lot of political jargon. At http://www.cnn.com/studentnews/ you can find a bunch of teacher materials and daily transcripts for each show. You will also find the podcasts at this website and can subscribe to it easily.
