I finally had a chance to start watching the results of an experiment in teaching at the college level. Dr. Patrick Spero, one of the speakers at our upcoming teacher institute, experimented this semester with his American Presidents class. Students created video ads for presidential campaigns, instead of writing papers.
Here's a link to the first post in the series, which explains the assignment as well as giving links to the first batch of ads:

What part of Wood's book does this go with? I could not find the chapter on Early American attack ads
ReplyDeleteKathy - this post doesn't tie to the Wood's book. The attack ads begin after the Constitution is adopted.
