This week we celebrate President's Day on Monday, February 18. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were both born in February. They are also known as two of the greatest American Presidents. There is oodles of information about both of these great men on the Internet and at the library, in books.
Have your students write about the character traits it takes to be a good U.S. President.
For younger students, have them read about Washington or Lincoln online or in a book and write a few sentences about one of them.
For older students, have them do a little research and write an essay on why Washington and Lincoln were great Presidents.
This assignment should be in essay form. Have older students write a full page.
For an additional essay this week, have older students research the song that is closely associated with the President, "Hail to the Chief."
