Summary: |
Presidents of the U. S. are grouped by what they had in common and what was unusual--names, states of origin, pets, size, etc. The book contains brief biographies of all U. S. Presidents in chronological order. The book does not discuss the duties of the President. |
Teaching Ideas: |
The biographical section could be used to do map work to see what states the presidents call home. Students could add other categories to use to compare presidents. They can add President George W. Bush in the appropriate categories in the book. Students could make a Trivial Pursuit game using information from the book. For more information on presidents look at these web sites: www.ipl.org/ref/POTUS/ and www.worldbook.com/fun/presidents/html/intro.htm. |
