Elections Unit Study and Teens and Generation Joshua

For those of you interested in the presidential election this year and gearing up to 
begin the Elections Unit Study, I wanted to let you know that many key issues are 
developing and heating up with the summer temperatures! Keep an eye on daily 
newspapers, national news magazines, and trusted online news sources - there 
is plenty to be talked about and learned - for example, check out this article on 
WorldNetDaily:

Obama's use of 'Joshua Generation' challenged:
'Generation Joshua' used, trademarked by homeschoolers years ago

While studying elections, particularly with older students, make sure to take advantage 
of issues like these to help them get involved in the process. BOTH parties have many 
key issues like this to deal with, and we can use these instances to help our children 
begin to grasp the complexities of the issues as well as how they impact our families.

Great learning experiences can bloom from kitchen table discussions of newspaper articles!

Happy Flag Day!
