WIL 2.6 & President Poster (1-8-15)

Welcome back!  After a weird 3 days, we must be ready for our final push through the end of Q2.  On Monday & Tuesday, you completed your PeerMarks (via turnitin) and we introduced you to MyMps (mps.itslearning.com).  Wednedsday was cancelled due to the cold weather.  Today, you picked up a handout to guide you through the President Presentation poster requirement to be completed in class and shared with us today.  You were also assigned WIL 2.6, and we sent you home with tomorrow's worksheet, "Putting the Nation Back Together" (to be completed in case we are out for cold weather tomorrow) and reminded to find your copy of the Unit 2 Benchmarks (you should have #2 done from the "US Unit 2 Econ North South" handout).  The Benchmarks will be part of your Q2 Final Exam, whic we will prepare for in class a bit on Tuesday.

Presidential Presentation
Biggest/Most Important Events

Create a one-page poster expanding on the biggest or most important events that occurred during your president’s term in office.  Events could be legislation (laws), war, economic, technology, or U.S. expansion.  Use your President Presentations Notes worksheet as a reference.

·       Title of the event
·       Date(s) of the event

·       Explanation of the event itself
·       Explanation of why you consider it to be the biggest/most important event


Write your full heading ON THE BACK of the poster for full credit.
