Students will first learn how to use the text features in informational text including the table of contents and index. Then, students will be assigned a president and a partner to work with.

Once students have completed their research, they will use it to complete two culminating activities: a report/presentation (their "presidential speech") and a mask of their president. Finally, other classes and parents will be invited to the "President Fair" where your students will share what they've learned about their president and show off their masks!
