power, his background, and his legacy and effectiveness as a
president. Use the URLs following the main

research projects on the fifty American states. Students can create
travel brochures, or a "Did You Know?" fact booklet to
share with the class. You might want to try making a mix and match
game to really test student knowledge, where certain vital facts are
selected from a game card file (created by you or your students) and
the student teams must match them up to the correct state within a
set time. |
