Dear students,

 Please follow the instructions (in this order) on this page.

 Students should visit the White House website and look at the list of US Presidents on this page to do research: []  After each group selects a US President, they'll be asked to enter the president they selected onto the Google Sign-up Doc. Groups may not do the same president for this project.
 * 1 - Selecting a US President (Days 1 and 2) **

 After each group selects their president, students will have to complete the "President Scavenger Hunt" activity. This document will be sent to each group via Google Docs. Students should structure their group wiki-page to the same format as in the attached Word document. 
 * 2 - Presidental Scavenger Hunt Assignment (Days 2-4) **

After completing the Presidential Scavenger Hunt assignment, you then will be asked to enter important events that occurred during you selected president's time era. To create your timeline, visit the website below. After entering your information, generate the time-line and then save the timeline image that was created. You'll need to upload and post that time-line image onto your group's wiki-page. []
 * 3 - Presidential Time-line (with Rubric) (Days 4 & 5) **

Students will be graded for their timeline based on this rubric. This document will also be sent to each group via Google Docs. 

 Students are highly encourage to visit this website to search for a US President. They have great information and timelines for many of the US Presidents. [|www.s9.com]

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">5 - Class Wiki Site (Days 6-9) **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Depending on time, groups will be presenting their Wiki-pages to the class as early as the 8th day or during the 9th day of this project.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> At the end of the project, students will be able to see each group's wiki-pages to see information regarding different US Presidents. After reviewing all the group wiki-pages, students will be asked to visit Blogger and log-into their Blogger accounts. From here, each student will write a 250-300 word reflection on what they learned about the different US Presidents they learned from reading other group pages. Students will be asked to write about, " <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">In your opinion, which US President made a significant difference during his career?" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">[|www.blogger.com]
