Introduction
There have been many presidents in the history of the United States, but many are not known by many people today. Before continuing, try to name as many presidents as you can. The goal of this quest is to help you to know every president that has served as the Commander-In-Chief and understand a little more about each of them.
Task
You are required to memorize and give a fact, or some accomplishment of each president. You will be able to effectively research a president and be able to discuss some important information about them to your classmates. This project will give you all a sense of understanding on this lesson, and you will be able to remember this for future events in your lives.
Process
1. The first step is to go over the handout with the manes of each president that I have given to you in class.
2. Next, visit these websites to learn more about each president.

3. Now that you know more about each president you are assigned, record what you know on a piece of paper to report to your fellow classmates.
Once you know about each president, you will be able to identify each president and their contribution to the country while in office.
