=Presidents of the United States Paper=

Every student must choose a former or current President. A five page paper, that is double spaced and typed in size twelve font, must be completed. It must include the following criteria:

 * 1) The first **TWO** pages must include a general background on the President of your choice; this can include, but is not limited to, their early life, education, and any other significant jobs they may have had before becoming President.
 * 2) The next **TWO** pages should include their accomplishments and failures during their presidency. This portion of the paper should include their policies and any legislation that they sought to pass or did pass. This portion of their paper should also include their foreign policy record, including any conflicts that occurred during their presidency.
 * 3) The final page of the paper should include your evaluation of their entire presidency. Explain the things you agreed with and the things that you disagreed with during their presidency. Provide explanations as to why you agreed or disagreed. You may also include a few facts about the President that are not well known to the public.
 * 4) Provide a Works Cited page at the end of the paper and a cover page with a picture of the President you have chosen.
 * 5) I **STRONGLY** encourage every student to choose a President that they are not familiar with.
