I HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY MET A PRESIDENT.
I HAVE SEEN THEM ON TV.
I HAVE BEEN IN THEIR HOUSE.
THEY ARE AN AMAZING GROUP OF MEN.
AND YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THEM.
WE ARE STARTING ONE OF THE TWO RESEARCH REPORTS WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS YEAR. YOU ARE GOING TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND COME UP WITH SOME INFORMATION ON THE PRESIDENT YOU PULLED OUT OF THE ENVELOPE THE OTHER DAY.
WE ARE GOING TO LEARN HOW TO RESEARCH, WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW AND WHAT’S NOT, HOW TO CITE A SOURCE AND GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAND INTO ME A ONE TO TWO PAGE TYPED REPORT ON YOUR PRESIDENT, A DANGLE (MORE ON THAT LATER), AND A TIMELINE CARD (MORE ON THAT LATER TOO). I’M THINKING WE MIGHT ALSO DO A WATER COLOR PORTRAIT BUT I HAVEN’T DECIDED ON THAT ONE YET.
YOU CAN GET ALL YOUR INFORMATION FROM THE INTERNET, A LIBRARY BOOK, OR WHATEVER SOURCE YOU HAVE AT HAND.
I WANT YO TO DISCOVER WHO HE WAS, WHAT WAS HE LIKE, WHAT DID HE DO BEFORE HE BECAME PRESIDENT, WHAT HE’S FAMOUS FOR, WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE WORLD WHILE HE WAS PRESIDENT, A BIT ABOUT HIS FAMILY, THE “FIRSTS” HE ACCOMPLISHED WHILE IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THAT KIND OF INTERESTING STUFF.
YOU WILL KEEP A LIST OF WHERE YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION AND ATTACH IT TO THE BACK OF YOUR REPORT.
