7th Grade: A Very Presidential Debate

Picture
This project was created for a 7th grade ICT class. Students were assigned one of three presidents to defend as the best: George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. The students researched the presidents' accomplishments using a website I created, organized their information, and participated in a class debate. As shown in the picture, they also made wigs for the occasion.
