Founding Fathers and Jacksonian Webquest (George Washington to John Tyler)

Founding Fathers and Jacksonian Webquest (George Washington to John Tyler)

Students will gain basic knowledge about our first Presidents by completing an internet-based worksheet. The President webquest uses the following great website.

http://www.ducksters.com/biography/uspresidents/

The wonderful clip art is from The Artventurous Life.

My students enjoy learning new facts about the Presidents from the website. I usually use this activity as a review or introduction activity for my middle school students and it takes at least one class period for students to cover each time period. High school students usually take less time to finish the webquest. Feel free to modify this activity if needed to fit the needs of your students.
The following questions are covered are in the webquest.

What state was this President born in:
What year did this President die:
