Presidents Project

Now that the constitution unit is over, students will be learning how the document shaped the administrations of the country's first five presidents.  Students are working in small groups to research the presidents.  They are finding out information about the political beliefs and personal background of each president.  They will also teach one another about the major events, challenges, and accomplishments of each president's administration.  Then, they will answer the essential question about the lasting impact that each commander in chief had on the United States.  Students will create lessons to teach the information to their classmates and they will also complete a menu project about the president that they have researched.  Students have also found out some really fun facts about our nation's first leaders.

Questions for your 7th grader:

• Which president are you researching?
• What is one fun fact you have learned about that president?
