Stossel in the Classroom

This free site offers a video library consisting of hundreds of civics, economic, and geographical related videos that can be streamed or downloaded, and browsed by category, subject, and theme. Many of the videos are paired with a comprehensive teacher’s guide that includes vocabulary, learning objectives, preview activities, viewing guide, discussion questions, post-viewing activities, worksheets, graphic organizers, and more.

The site also posts quizzes which can be easily integrated into a Google Classroom platform.

In addition, the “Both Sides of the Issue” video series encourages critical thinking and open discussion among students. Each segment helps teachers present balanced lessons with paired videos that present opposing views. Discussion questions are included with each “Both Sides” pairing.
