<p>I think Super PACs are an incredibly powerful, brand new political tool, and I think you're right on the money looking to teach about them!</p>

<p>The platform this collection of articles is built on is called MentorMob, which allows you to put resources you find into a cohesive and linear format--which is cool because it allows you to learn by teaching, as it were.</p>

<p>Hope this is helpful and I'd love any feedback! (As I'm the one who picked which articles to include, and though I tried to use sources that were clear and trustworthy, I'm by no means an expert.)</p>
<p></p>
<p>You can put together your own playlists too!</p>

<p>Thanks these are helpful. I also point my teachers to C-SPAN election materials, C-SPAN Classroom and the new C-SPAN Classroom site "Deliberations" <a href="http://www.c-spanclassroomdeliberations.org/" target="_blank">http://www.c-spanclassroomdeliberations.org/</a>. Super PACs would be a great topic.</p>

<p>I should also add that we have all of the PBS NewsHour's resources, with an election map we update during the primaries, candidate profiles, etc.</p>
