How, When, and Who Will Win? ⚖️🤞

It’s election day in the US (though millions of Americans cast their ballots in early voting). It’s an important and tense election that feels different from all elections before. But also… strangely familiar! Here’s a flashback to how we wrote about the last tight race between the Republican Donald Trump and a Democrat running to become the USA’s first woman president.

💡Classroom idea: Use this article to practice the language of comparisons and change. What's the same? What is new or different? 🙂

BRIDGE helps you keep up with hot topics in the classroom.🙂 Deepfakes and AI have been in the news a lot recently, but we were all over this topic FIVE YEARS ago!
We invite you to revisit an old article published in October 2019. You could use it to stimulate a discussion of the rate of technological development. What was the tech like, then and now? What excited and concerned us then, and have our fears and predictions come true?
