So many candidates, so little time. Thank goodness for online quizzes! There have been 5 posted on the librarian listserv to use with students, so take your pick. I triedGlassbooth - it promises to connect you to the 2008 presidential candidate that represents your beliefs the best. The others are the Candidate Match Game from USA Today, Votehelp, and Minnesota Public Radio's Select-a-Candidate.
And I promise that this is as far into the arena of elections that I will venture. Elections are good. Thank you to the people who have come before us to allow us to vote. Like the stylish chicks above.
The photo is from the American Memories collection at the Library of Congress - one of my favorite sites to use at Gage. Sheet music, photos, paintings, newspapers, political cartoons, interactive activities- such a treasure trove!
Gotta love the 1913 photo of suffragists Mrs. Stanley McCormick and Mrs. Charles Parker. I think they should have switched hats. Especially since the photo was destined for the internet.

Hello! Just checking in on your School Library Learning 2.0 progress. You may want to label your headings Week 1, Thing 1 and so on, with the topic so you and your CSLA peer cheerleaders can follow along. See also "weekly tips" section of http://schoollibrarylearning2.blogspot.com/
Best wishes.
