US President Pictures
A document that has a picture of each US President (Washington through Obama). These are public domain pictures, but I have gathered all of the pictures for you to use as is or customize your own project with. You can use just the pictures or as a way to get students to write down important details about each president (like their years in office, political party, their vice president, etc.) and create a short list of presidential facts.

Causes of the Civil War Handout
This is an informational handout on the causes of the American Civil War, which I usually use to introduce the unit. I used the acronym "SACKED," which stands for "Slavery and Sectionalism," "Arguments," "Compromises," "Kansas-Nebraska Act," "Election," and "Decision to Secede." This is an easy way for the students to remember the main causes of the Civil War, and they are able to remember the acronym when it comes to test time.

FARCEBOOK!
It's "Farcebook"! With this Word document (.docx) you can have your students create a "Farcebook" page for anyone, living or dead.

My Culture
The "My Culture" pages consists of one fact sheet that the students fill out telling their favorite Books, Music, Food, Clothes, Sports, and their personal Religion. After students fill out the fact sheet there is a second sheet that they refer to in order to create a collage of their culture.
