|||||||||
| Part of the Library of Congress Books Series, the book provides interesting stories about a variety of U.S. Presidents and their families illustrated by archival photographs and prints.

Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Teachers might want to pair this with So You Want To Be President, in which similar material is accessible to a lower level reader. A K-W-L strategy would help discover what old and new facts students glean from the book. Students could choose a President that they want to learn more about and go searching on the Internet: www.americanpresidents.org/; www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/indexjs.html; http://odur.let.rug.nl/~usa/P/. Students may want to create timelines or compare the roles of First Ladies over time. Excerpts are excellent texts for teaching students to summarize. | |||||||||
