CNN Student News  — 

January 31, 2014

This Friday, CNN Student News is all about journeys: the nationwide one that millions of Chinese are taking for the Lunar New Year, the harrowing one that led thousands of Atlantans to abandon their cars, and the first one that a baby polar bear took in the snow. We’ll also discuss a new legal development in the case of an accused terrorist, and we’ll examine Super Bowl security.

On this page you will find today’s show Transcript, the Daily Curriculum, and a place for you to leave feedback.
