As I told you previously, I am in meetings all day. Therefore, you will have a guest teacher today. Be good! :)

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

1)FINISH THIS ASSIGNMENT IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY. 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

* 2. John Adams
* 3. Thomas Jefferson

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. 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.
