Social Studies Assignment for Thursday, Jan.27th

Good Morning!

As I told you previously, I am at a meeting all day at the district office. Therefore, you will have a guest teacher today. Be good! :)

Listed below are the explorations I would like you to do today.

1) Complete your process paper for the History Day project. (If you already have, please print a copy for the guest teacher.)
2)Conference with your group and decide what else needs to be completed on your History Day project. Assign people jobs and give a list of those jobs and people to the guest teacher.
3)In your history day groups, Go to: http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents
This is a page on the white house's website. Focus on the presidents below.

Our Presidents

* 1. George Washington
* 2. John Adams
* 3. Thomas Jefferson
* 4. James Madison
* 5. James Monroe

4) Read each president's biography on the web pages. Make a concise summary of the importance and affect that president had on our country. Imagine how our country would be different without each president.

5) Go to glogster.com and make a glob with this info. This assignment is worth 50 points and will be on Quarter 3's grades.

Have fun!
Mrs. Jacques
