Cartoons for the Classroom: Stand By for Regime Change

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

When Barak Obama was elected president, he was unable to affect change untill the official start date of January 20th. Learners examine this policy, America's need for change, and the duties of the president-elect in a political cartoon from 2008. Note: This is no longer a current topic, but is still great when holding a retrospective discussion.
