Do you Vox?



Vox has become one of my favorite person resources for information ranging from politics, current events, and even silly entertainment goop. However, in the context of this blog, I want to share with you two great resources: Vox Explains and Card Stacks. Keep in mind that this post is geared mostly for social studies teachers, but language arts teachers might enjoy these resources for argumentative essay wrtiting.

Vox Explains is their collection of two-minute videos that explains various topics--ranging from gerrymandering to the child-migrant crisis.



Card Stacks is Vox's way of explaining a variety of issues in the news. The information is broken down into manageable "notecards". Check out these great Card Stacks covering inflation and affirmative action and the Supreme Court.
