Currently my students are busy trying to persuade their peers to reelect a former U.S. President. Although some of their candidates would be pushing over 200 years old, the students are working hard to research some main talking points when it comes to these past presidents. Will's father, Rich Rasmussen has introduced me to a great website called www.livingroomcandidate.org. I have had tons of fun checking out television commercials of election years past. The website has created a fascinating collection of presidential advertisements that date back to the early 1950s! Make sure to check them out and see how our focus, our attention span, and our priorities of changed throughout the years!
Make sure to also tune into the presidential debates tomorrow night!
