U.S. PRESIDENTS - Government, Elections and More!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be President of the United States?

• What challenges would you face at any given moment of the day or night?
• How would you handle a national crisis?

Students travel through history, looking at each President's term in office. They see history unfolding in many ways, from modern-day American problems and civil rights struggles to wars and other crises. These activities include selecting a president of choice and role-playing that President in the first person. Students also participate in election processes and activities that reenact the decade in which a President lived.   This involves dance moves, fashion, and other aspects of the time in which a President lived.So, welcome aboard, and have fun!
