Directions:

1. Check your email (I've sent modified directions and a few changes to some of you) and Aspen (history grade is up-to-date)

2. Make your own copy of the Directions and Research Doc:Directions & Research Doc

3. Create an Easybib to keep track of all your sources www.easybib.com 

4. Use my American Presidents Symballoo page to get information on how your president was influential.  After you have your basic research you may need to use the library databases to learn more about the events and actions of your president.

5. Remember it is best to put your research into your own words, but if you use someone else's words YOU MUST PUT QUOTES around it!

6. The Research Doc has space to develop your research for all 5 actions, but only 3 are required, the rest are there if you need them.
