Introduction
Hello Students!! 
Welcome to your first WebQuest of the year!
This WebQuest is designed to give each student a further insight on the past President's of the US. The students will be a little more knowledgable about there country and the President and why things happened the way they did and who took part in that change. Who doesn't love history?
I can't wait to get started!!
Task
You will become an expert on your assigned President!
By the end of this WebQuest, you will know everything about your assigned President. You will read books and search the internet about your President and print out or write down your findings and make it into a PowerPoint presentation and present it to the class.
Process
After going over our Presidential lesson, I will then put 25 different President's names' into a jar and draw a different name for everyone.
After establishing who has what President, we will then go to the computer lab/library and spend 5 days researching and becoming an expert on the assigned President.
On the 5th day we will start presenting our PowerPoints to the class and the students will be graded on a rubric.

The goal of this WebQuest is to allow students to learn a little more about their country and their past President's. It is important to be knowledgeable about American History because it is why America is the way that it is today. By learning the many different Presidents' it educates students about American history.
And by presenting the PowerPoint it allows students to get up in front of their peers and show what they know/learned about their assigned President.
