One of my favorite online resources for use in social studies class is The Living Room Candidate. Created by the Museum of the Moving Image, this site collects television commercials from every Presidential election since 1952.
As we all become inundated with political ads during this election season, The Living Room Candidate can be a great resource to discuss how political ads are constructed to target specific voter groups, appeal to emotions, and even use subliminal imagery.
