Teens Discussing Teen on Teen Violence

Today's episode of CNN Student News included an interesting segment about teen on teen violence that my Civics students passionately discussed. The segment focused on Eric Holder and Arne Duncan's trip to Chicago to talk with officials about teen violence. CNN Student News asked students to weigh-in with their comments on the topic. Since my students didn't have computer access today, we instead had an engaging classroom discussion in which my students talked about the causes of teen violence as well as prevention measures. A good resource on the topic that I didn't recall until after class is DoSomething.org's Violence and Bullying prevention resources.
