Introduction
\par
\par
\par  
\par
\par What is it like to be President of the United States? This activity helps you find out what the job is
\par \par like now and how it has changed over time. Perhaps you would like to apply for it someday.
\par
\par  
\par
\par  
\par
\par  
\par
\par You will work in groups to answer questions about past and current U.S. Presidents.
\par The class will be organized into three teams of Red, White, and Blue.  Each team will earn points for the
\par greatest number of correct answers at the end of the class period. Bonus points will be awarded for
\par \par the most efficient and organized search techniques, as well as the most interesting "trivia" fact found.
\par (The class will vote on this one!)
