The Fabulous FIVE Project!

Project Objective: Explore, analyze, collaborate and present the first 5 Presidents of the New Republic of the United States from 1789-1825.


Group Requirements: 
Lesson/Presentation (25%) - Each group must gather information in the form of notes (from at least 3 sources) on their president to present a lesson containing facts and visuals to the class.

Student Review/Practice (25%)- Each group will develop an original student worksheet, graphic organizer, crossword puzzle, etc. for the class on their president that will be a  review for the quiz.

Quiz (25%)- After each group has presented their lesson, and given a review of the information, they must develop and give the class a quiz. (20 questions)

Individual Participation (25%)- The teacher will assess individual participation and 10 points will be deducted each time a student arrives unprepared without materials needed to work on the project, does not use time wisely, or interrupts the groups with inappropriate behavior.

Remember
  • Each individual in the group is responsible to the group effort of becoming experts on their particular president.
  • THINK of the best way to present your information so that students will REALLY get to know your president and REMEMBER the information!
