PBS NewsHour Classroom

PBS NewsHour Classroom helps teachers and students identify the who, what, when, where, and why-it-matters of news stories. Daily News Lessons are provided, which takes the best of the PBS NewsHour and pairs it with discussion questions, lesson plans, and stories developed specifically for students. Lesson plans and resources help achieve state and national standards’ goals and cover core academic subject areas ranging from civics and social studies to STEM and the arts, always with a media literacy focus.

For example, check out this Daily News Lesson and find out how scientists are reducing methane from cow burps, a major contributor to greenhouse gases. This lesson includes an engaging video, transcript, and focus questions.
