Presidential Projects Notes
Below is the listed information for the upcoming Presidential Projects. There is A LOT of information we will NOT learn in class about these presidents or the contents of their presidency. The reason I have you doing these is because they are easy and the facts are interesting... Johnson and Grant are due March 4 and R.B. Hayes through W. McKinley are due March 21 as a bundle...Each video below the president's name are one-minute videos... Enjoy!
