These pages were designed to help 3rd graders work on very simple PowerPoint presentations on the U.S. Presidents.

Students search for information from the selected sites and record their results on the worksheet which shows each PowerPoint slide.

Students then transfer the work to PowerPoint slides and save in an appropriate place.

There are pictures of all of the US Presidents available as clip art on the Microsoft Design Gallery Live. You'll need to search on Presidents and then download them to whatever machine the students are working on.
