Generation Y Steps Up to Vote! by Harriette Washington-Williams, K-8 Music Class: The lesson was used as a component of the students' performance of the song "Mr. President" by LL Cool J and Wyclef John (
click here to hear a segment of the song). The students used the music, writing poems, and art projects involving designing sneakers and t-shirts, to analyze how current social and political issues influenced the artist and their lyrics. The project integrated music across the
