Description:

In this history class, I will introduce you to each of the Presidents who led our country.  Beginning with George Washington and ending with the current administration, we will follow the history of the country, taking a look at the wars and battles, the major achievements, the growth of America, and the significant events.  Who were these men who were voted in to serve Americans?  Were they raised to become the President, or did they just happen upon it?  Were they soldiers, military leaders, business men, politicians?  Who got stuck in the White House bath tub?  Who would only speak Mandarin Chinese in the White House when servants were nearby?  Who was buried with the Confederate flag?  Were the deaths of the eight Presidents while in office actually part of a curse?  Who had fun scaring the White House guests with his pet alligator? Who had the most children?  Who was the only single President?  We will have a lecture each class, look at a short video on the President, and do in-class activities.  Homework will be given through a packet where the students have a choice of memorization, craft, essay, and reading.  Get to know the history of the United States through the eyes of these 46 men.
