There have been many presidents in the history of the United States, but many are not known by many people today. Before continuing, try to name as many presidents as you can. The goal of this quest is to help you to know every president that has served as the Commander-In-Chief and understand a little more about each of them.
You are required to memorize and give a fact, or some accomplishment of each president. You will be able to effectively research a president and be able to discuss some important information about them to your classmates. This project will give you all a sense of understanding on this lesson, and you will be able to remember this for future events in your lives.
1. The first step is to go over the handout with the manes of each president that I have given to you in class.
2. Next, visit these websites to learn more about each president.

3. Now that you know more about each president you are assigned, record what you know on a piece of paper to report to your fellow classmates.
Once you know about each president, you will be able to identify each president and their contribution to the country while in office.

Knowing each individual President and what they achieved while in office is an important thing to know for the future. These people had a hand in shaping our country into what it is today and it is important to acknowledge them. Now that you know more about each President, which one is your favorite and why?
I would like to thank professor for showing me how to set up this web quest.

This was designed for students to be able to understand the importance of each United States President. In order to form a better nation in the future, we must know the mistakes and achievements of the past, and that is what this quest is all about.
