I am Running for President

Studying the Election in Social Studies, have your students create video commercials for their candidacy where they represent their platform.

On the reverse side have your students create an attack commercial, showing them the music, tone, and lighting usually used in these ads. They are so easy to make even the Swift Kids for Truth put some out.


Read this NY Times story about Facebook users who are putting their middle names as Hussein to stop smears against Obama. I think this is a great way to use a web tool to protest.

This video from CNN talks about students learning political advertising 101.
"Students Explore World of Politics"
