Research Projects- American Presidents

Part of our writer's workshop is having our students write informational papers, speeches, and brochures. Basically, researching topics and presenting them different ways. The 3rd grade team of teachers decided that starting with American Presidents would be the easiest way to start.

Students were given 3 choices: (as per the books we were able to find in our school's library)

George Washington 

Thomas Jefferson 

and Abraham Lincoln

 We grabbed all the books we could find, with the plan of sharing the books throughout the 3rd grade classes.

Students are to use different resources to find this information:

Mrs. Kapp, our new librarian, volunteered to make us a "go-to" site for online research! Check out her AMAZING work!

We will be working on our projects over the next 3 weeks. This week we are researching and creating lapbooks on our chosen president. Most of my students chose Lincoln, and only 3 chose Jefferson. I'm looking forward to seeing what they find!
