__**Political Cartoon**__ Politcal catoons can give us great instite in to how people are thinking and feeling about a particular topic. I could have the students compare what their local community is feeling about a topic with a cartoon like this one at the national level.

This poster can give students insite into the types of activities local politcal parties are resposible for setting up and running. There are a great amount of questions that can be asked by looking at the poster.

S

My thinking is that students could compare political and campaingn songs of the past to ones from today. I have struggled to find local songs dealing politics. But there are several national campaign and political songs on sheet music to choose from.
 * __5D1 Sheet Music and Audio Recordings__**

[|Few Days] Sheet Music Source. A source of American culture that has political over tones to it. This source could be used to see how people talked and promoted their ideas. Students could use this as an example to help them see how people thought about issues. I was also thinking that students could write their own song and lyrics for their local community based on how people felt about the issues.

[|Thoughts for Americans] Sheet Music Source. This is another American Culture song on the issues of Liberty and Freedom. It is an example of how people promoted their ideas and ideolgoies to others. Click o the view this link. This source could be used as stated in the last source.

[|I'll Never Vote Like Daddy Anymore] Sheet Music Source. An excellent example of sheet music for my project. Please click on page turner button to see song on the sheet music. This is a great example to show as in the past as pepole do today serious debated politics. Maybe if we made more music on how we feel wouldnt be fighting so much in the politcal arena.

[|Lincoln's Call] Sheet Music Source. This an example of how new candidates and candidates wanting to spread thier words used music to help them. As I am writing this I am thinking about how Team Obama used the internet so well during their campaign. They tappped into the current day technology to help them spread the word. This could be used as an example of how politicians use technology both then and now.

[|**Tom Cross Audio**] Click on the Tom Cross Audio link. Click on the "Click here-1" link. Tom Cross is the Kendall County House Member of the Illinois State Senate. He is the House Minority Leader and is a republican. This an interview of the state of politics in the state of Illinois and the nation. The topic is on government and refrom. Students could use this to get a tone of what the local politicians are talking about.

Module 6 Sources:

[|Foster Town Hall Video] For my local history project I want my students to get an idea of the politcal behavior of their commiunity. For my AP government class we have a unit on political beliefs and behaviors. I think this project will fit well with that unit. I want students to see how people in their communities are thinking about the issues that shap federal and local policies. This Bill Foster video can be used as one example. [|Oswego Precint Map] Political Maps are key to any election. This map shows how specific the voting precincts are. Students will be able get an understanding of where voters in their community live. Students could use this map as a way of proving how we organize our local and federal elections. Students may be aske why and who a map like this might be important to a local or national election. [|Red State Blue State] Click on the link above and scoll down to video explanation. Press play and enjoy. Many students do not understand the Red State Blue State concept. Some might even think that they belong to a purple state. Which some stats are this is an excellent example of explaining how this works. The video uses many elelcion maps as well. There is also some history behind the election map of our country. [|2008 NPR Election Maps: Interactive] This is an excellent source for students to see how the states favord in the election. It is an interactive map inwhich students can scroll over each state to see the breakdown of how each state voted. I am not sure if these maps qualify as the type of primary souruce that I am supposed to look for. But the polical map fits right in with my project. [|CNN 2004 Election Results] See map on the right side of the screen. I thought this map would be good to use to have the students compare this last election with the results in 04. I want to give the students to see how politcal behaviors and beliefs do shift and change through out the times. [|Presidents Weekly Address] The weekly vidoe address by the president can give students an idea on the current issues of the time of our project. This current issues the president discusses the importance Vetrans Day and the tragic events at Fort Hood. Students could use this source as a way of comparing national events to how their local communities are dealing with the same issue. [|Mark Kirk GOP Weekly Address] This is the weekly Address is done by congressman Mark Kirk. In this video Congressman Kirk address the current issue of health care reform. Again I want my students to get a feel for the current state of issues at the federal level.
