Sarah's Social Studies is kind of boring right now (to me) --Henry Ford and Model T's...and Hannah's studying the Renaissance Era (14-1600's). I don't know how to tie those in.

ummmmm...maybe we could discuss who was elected President on or around 1908? (When the first Model T was built)

Renaissance....hmm...

Issues:

The Economy (I'm not sure on this one....)
Healthcare (government provided healthcare vs. private insurance)
Abortion (pro-live vs. pro-abortion or pro-choice)
Taxes (higher vs. lower, and personal income vs. business)
The War (pre-preemptive strikes vs. reactive & pro-war vs. anti-war)
Energy (should we be allowed to drill on American soil? Why or why not?)
National Security (not sure....)
Guns (2nd Amendment)
Immigration (Open borders vs. closed or controlled)
Education (Public Schools vs. Private/Homeschool, address vouchers)

Other?

The Renassiance period had major political changes moving from the old Feudal System of the Middle Ages to a more liberal class system. The people were becoming less "God centered" and more "human-centered" .

You could tie this theme into our current situation!
