Presidents Day Web Quest

Introduction

Welcome to our Presidents Day Web Quest.
Today we will be traveling back in time to discover facts about two of our country's most beloved presidents. 
You will find out many interesting facts about one president and also find out why George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are considered among our country's most beloved presidents.

 

Task

Each time traveler will pick one partner to travel back in time with using the resources on the Internet. (It's never safe to time travel alone!)
One of our time travelers will explore the 1700's and will search for information about George Washington using the George Washington Resources:

List of Nicknames of Presidents of the United States



The other time traveler will explore the 1800's and will search for information about Abraham Lincoln using the Abraham Lincoln Resources:


Each time traveler will record their findings on the Presidential Fact Sheet.
Both time travelers will meet back in 2018 to compare and contrast information about the two presidents.

Process

Step 1

  • Each time traveler will find a copy of the Presidential Fact Sheet in Google Classroom.

 

Step 2

  • Each time traveler will be given a president to explore.
  • Time travelers researching Lincoln should use the Abraham Lincoln Resources.
  • Time travelers researching Washington should use the George Washington Resources.

Step 3
  • Time travelers should click on the appropriate resources to online links to get information about their president. 
  • Search the different web sites to find information about your president and then write in all the information on your Presidential Fact Sheet.

Step 4

  • When Presidential Fact Sheets are completed, you and your neighbor will meet and discuss the two presidents and how they were alike as well as how they were different and together write a reflection in your journals.
