Anyway, I decided that the first day back to school after Christmas was a great day to learn about the presidents. The main thing holding me back has been what format to use for a report form. I have a bunch of resource books of different types with Presidential Report Forms on them, but none of them included all the things I wanted them to cover and many contained things I didn't feel were important (like name 4 cabinet members).
So, combining a bunch of resources, I came up with an interview format, a paste-down portrait, and a poem to fill in.
Hey! It copied in here. Well, there you go. Feel free to use, if it tickles your fancy.
