What comes to mind when learners think about campaign financing? Secondary pupils watch a video about the fundraising climate during the 2012 presidential election and discuss Super PACs and Supreme Court legislation as a group.

Next, class members view four Super PAC advertisements and complete an analysis of what they see before synthesizing conclusions based on one of the ads.
