This is an election year for the ages. The rhetoric is at a fevered pitch, the sides are divided, and the issues muddied by inaccuracies, half-truths, lies, and innuendo. How do we help our students wade through the messages, see the purpose in participating, and become actively engaged with the presidential election? Find out during this lively conversation with high school teachers Janelle Bence of Texas and Chris Sloan of Utah, two teachers who are making the election a focal part of their work this fall.

As part of a special series designed for the Letters to the Next President 2.0 project, this kickoff “Media Make” features educators Janelle Bence and Chris Sloan leading a conversation with students and other teachers about developing and discussing diverse political views in the classroom during a particularly contentious election.
