American Presidents WebQuest

Would you like to be President?

Introduction

 

What is it like to be President of the United States? This activity helps you find out what the job is
like now and how it has changed over time. Perhaps you would like to apply for it someday.

 

 

 

You will work in groups to answer questions about past and current U.S. Presidents.
The class will be organized into three teams of Red, White, and Blue.  Each team will earn points for the
greatest number of correct answers at the end of the class period. Bonus points will be awarded for
the most efficient and organized search techniques, as well as the most interesting "trivia" fact found.
(The class will vote on this one!)
