They can occur spontaneously, lucky occasions to bring the curriculum to life grabbed on the fly. In other instances, a teachable moment looms large. In hundreds of thousands of classrooms nationwide, teachers will share such an extraordinary opportunity this fall--the 2008 presidential election. While students will not be casting a ballot themselves come November, there are many ways in which teachers can engage them in the process and, along the way, inspire a new generation of voters. Teachers today have a vast store of images, video, and multimedia available online, resources that can help teach current events with a historical context--and make it fun. This article provides a few related Web resources that will help teachers make the most of this election in their classroom. |
