In the coming weeks, we hope you'll offer students important context for the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol—and we'll keep sharing resources, too. But we know you're likely already talking with students about what happened. We hope these resources help.

Guide to upsetting election stories:
1. Wait before sharing.
2. People want to manipulate you.
3. What's the source?
4. Is it a news org with editors?
5. Looks big on Twitter, but is it just a local incident?
6. Repeat #1. Anything truly important will still be there in an hour.
