I am the middle school tech coach at the American School in Japan in Tokyo. Our 8th grade Social Studies classes just finished up a Propaganda Project focused on the U.S. Presidential race! They have posted their work on a blog and would love to have students take a look and make comments. They have done a FANTASTIC job with this project! Drop me a note if you are interested in this opportunity. Thanks – Jim Erwin (jerwin@asij.ac.jp)
